I am suggesting X. assimilis because of the similarity of the upturned palps with their dark bases with a sharp margin with the white tips,

Also the legs of E. callianassa are pure white, and the legs of X. assimilis are black on top, like this specimen. But CNM is snarled up and will not let me undo or confirm these suggestions.
