Stanwellia sp. sling
Also rehoused due to a large mold outbreak
This one is actually Chenistonia sp.
A small Nemesiid species. Confirmed by Robert Raven himself.
I think i got it from some private seller on gumtree and just took his word on the ID. I will say though it has doubled in size since this pic, how big are Chenistonia supposed to be and what species are currently described?

[/QUOT/]

There is currently 6 described species of Chenistonia. Males of this species have a tibial spur on leg I. This is why Stanwellia is ruled out.

The specimen that I collected on the Central coast is only about 40mm leg span currently. I believe that they can get a little bigger then this.

Robert beleives that the my specimen is Chenistonia caeruleomontana.
