'Euryopis' sp. cf elegans Keyserling, 1890

These spiders, called here 'Euryopis' sp. are a group of similar species some of which have not been described. It is difficult to tell them apart, so ID is tentative. The true Euryopis elegans has a more diffuse, blotchy leg pattern than most of these shown here. These hadrotarsines will probably be moved to Emertonella .
