Hypogena
This looks like a female Hypogena, probably H. marginata which is known from that part of AZ. Males have frontal horns.

kinda looks like Uloma but I don't think they occur down here. Did you catch it? I would like to look at it.

No, sorry:-(
I'm sorry, no, I did not collect it. Should it show up again, I'll try and secure it....
