ID
Great find! This is a Sarinda species of some sort, but doesn't match neatly into cutleri or hentzi, which are the only two species known in the US. This is very interesting. Did you happen to collect the specimen?

Peckhamia/Synageles's 2nd pair of legs are used as the fake antenna, and the first pair are enlarged. That's the easiest way to distinguish them from Sarinda (as Synemosyna and Myrmarachne do not occur in AZ)

 
links
I added links to bigger images (on flickr) under the other picture. Hopefully they help.

Unfortunately, the specimen was not collected. I believe I do have a few unprocessed photos of it and will try to post them soon.

Thanks.

David Richman believes this may be an undescribed species. If you happen upon another, try collecting. Bruce Cutler would then be the point of contact on bringing it to species level.

 
GPS
I added exact GPS coords where it was found to the note under the first pic. In case anyone wants to go looking.

Peckhamia sp
I dont know enough about this genus to ID to species level, but nonetheless it's definitely a Peckhamia speces.
