With the new pic I can now sa
With the new pic I can now safely rule out Platy*dracus and I think I can rule out Dino*thenarus too because I can barely see the palpi in that third shot. They are blunt at the ends which leads me to decide that this is a species of Tasgius. Technically it could be Ocy*pus but the habitus is not quite right for that.
