Moved from Coras.

Very nice, a new species for the guide.

C. aerialis
C. lamellosus and C. aerialis are very similar, but I'm going with the latter for this specimen. Width-to-height ratio of epigynum measures roughly 1.54 to 1. According to Muma (1946) C. lamellosus is 1.4 to 1 and C. aerialis is supposed to be 1.6 to 1.

Muma also writes (regarding appearance of epigynum): "Extreme lateral ridges form a noticeably acute angle with the sides of the septal notch" which seems to be the case here.

Maybe Coras juvenilis
I assume all of these are going to Kevin, so it will be nice to know for sure.

Moved from Spiders.
