Moved from Mesh Web Weavers.

Comparing the palp of my spider to plate 25, figs. 4-6 of Chamberlin and Gertsch 1958, I don't see many differences, and the general description and range match pretty well. Many of these spiders have fairly subtle differences between species, though, so please let me know if folks disagree with my assessment.
