looks similar to a Barylestis sp (spelling?) I've seen recently offered by Peter Grabowitz, probably best to ask him

Barylestis is a Sparassidae, so definitely no.
It's surely a Ctenidae, might be Ctenus or Africactenus. Unfortunately African ctenids are very poorly known.

Hi, I'm keeping one that we rescued from someone's back yard :) they are very pretty.
Only found out today that it's ctenus though ;)
