Solphugid ID

[danread]

Could anyone identify this solphugid (Alex?). The only information i have is that it's from Tanzania. The pics not great, but it's all i can get until they are in stock in March. Thank you.

Solpugidae

The solifugid is most likely of the family Solpugidae (200 sp.). Probably of the genus Oparbella, most likely species Oparbella bicolor or Oparbella flavescens. The Solpugidae is a very diverse solifugid family, extremely common in Africa.

P.S. If you can eventually get better pics, I encourage posting them.
