Tharrhalea (Lehtinelagia) or a new genus

This is a new species, possibly Tharrhalea (Lehtinelagia) or a new genus. It seems to range from south-east QLD to at least Sydney in NSW. It was featured in Mascord 1980 asDiaea punctata . That species became Tharrhalea (Lehtinelagia) multopunctata , quite a different species from the one he photographed, also shown here. This spider triggered Steve Woodman's healthy obsession with Crab Spiders found in Wyndham, NSW. ♀ 5 mm ♂ 3 mm
