Moved

I haven't removed the pedipalp, yet, but this looks like the same species as the last two (and likewise from Groton).

Tom, Do you have any side
Tom,

Do you have any side views of the pedipalp? This should be easily recognizable from your dorsal view, but most reference material only shows a lateral view of the palp. (Perhaps I've seen this species -- it looks vaguely familiar, but I don't recall it.)

No lateral shots
It's in alcohol now, but I'll see if I can get a good side view of the palp.
