Undescribed Bright Green Spider with garnet-coloured, highly complex palps

Body length about 2.2mm for the male, possibly 3mm for the female. Like Thwaitesia it has black nodes on the joints of the legs and its shape is similar to Thwaitesia, though the very large complicated palps with branching structures are no doubt taxonomically significant. Found on Obi Obi Creek near Hunsley Road, near Kenilworth. The female here, from Venman Park Bushland, may not be the same genus, but could be.
