I am suggesting this is Furcatrox procera, this time definitely a male, for similar reasons to those given for the other CNM Sighting of the same species - a sighting made at the same location at a similar time of year (26 March 2020). For a photo of the male and female F. procera together see here: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/b5c1e4fa-95d0-43e8-a460-6786503056b9 .
