Possibly Hypoblemum villosum ( a Jumping Spider)

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion, I have done some research and would agree that the specimen is Hypoblemum villosum or Hypoblemum albovittatum, female. It is thought that these may be the same species. Positive identification seems to require microscopic examination.

There's an important update now! The link above is a paper which published (FEB 2019) new species described and identified within Hypoblemum which were previously clumped in with H. albovittatum or H. villosum due to a lack of definite identification. This individual is a female Hypoblemum griseum. Please refer to the link from page 26 for descriptions and photos.

Thanks Yumi
Would you be willing to check all the Hypoblemum identifications within CNM?

Yep I went through a fair few sightings registered as Hypoblemum sp last night and I'm happy to go through specific species too to check ID. I will comment all updates for each sighting.

I have revised all sightings in Hypoblemum on CNM to either H. griseum or H. scutulatum. If someone could change the ID, that would be great!
There is one sighting that is under H. albovittatum which I don't think fits under either of the two species. I will have a look at alternative IDs it could be, but a second opinion would be helpful! Here is the link:
