Moved
Moved from Pholcus.

I'm leaning
toward P. opiliones with this individual. The submarginal dark markings on the carapace I believe are absent in the similar P. manueli. Again, I know we're waiting for a paper to come out, but wanted to leave a breadcrumb for myself.

Moved
Moved from Longbodied Cellar Spider. We're moving back to genus while we sort this out.

the size of his palps!!
I never realised that male Pholcus developed such large palps when mature! They really look like he's got tiny boxing gloves on.
