Moved
Moved from Badumna.

Comparing this one with the one in the guide your ID looks correct. Keep in mind I don't know anything about this genus.

 
Thanks -
for the move. I'll also try to find an adult of this species to confirm.

 
Size
I was just browsing the other Badumna submissions because a few of us were trying to figure out this spider. Because of that I learned some things about Desidids in a book I have and I just wanted to say that Badumna are small spiders and might not ever get much bigger than around 12mm (for a female) and a little smaller for males. So yours was probably quite close to adulthood, although his palps do still look immature in your third photo.

 
lol
I spelled Desids wrong here, too. :)

 
Subadult -
yes, one more molt and this would have been an adult male... Thanks for the comment.
