Odd Spider - Cynortoides quadrispinosa
Tamarac / Location, Broward County, Florida, USA
Several Months ago I found one of these spiders inside my house. I looked all over the net for information and pictures but have yet to find anything that resembles this guy. Since then I found 3 more of these spiders outside my front door (about 3 weeks after the first one), and I found one outside my house today (several weeks after finding the last 3). Can anyone shed some light as to what I have here?

Harvestman
From the body shape I'd say it's one of the harvestman spiders.

The markings are very similar, but not the same, as .
