ant-like jumping spider
Moved from ID Request for expert attention.

Male
The little "boxing gloves" are palps which are male sex organs. I am no spider expert so can only say it's male and a lovely ant mimic. They are fast:>)

Jumping spider
There are some (at least superficially) similar critters in Peckhamia--but that's just a guess on my part. Wait to hear from the spider experts.
