Stephanopis sp? A Crab Spider

A medium sized crab, mostly grey spider with a fat, rather smooth abdomen, and a strongly two-pointed face. Females to about 9mm, males to about 4mm. Some nodules and protruberances on the front lengs, but not as much as many Stephanopis species. Both possibilities for the genus were sugested by the Thomisid expert Dr Pawel Szymkowiak.
