Interesting suggestion. The shape of the abdomen/lower body is different to Aesiotyche favosa.

Mesolita are rainforest inhabitants and to find one on Black Mountain is surprising. I suspect this individual (or an ancestor) arrived from elsewhere, perhaps with plant material. It is possible that this species has established in the 'rainforest gully'.
