Cold, wet spider, very slow moving. But looked mean!

Family is Idiopidae (Spiny Trapdoor Spiders)
Genus is most likely Idiosoma or Arbantis.

I can only just make out the sigillium on the second photo, making this one Idiosoma. The eye arrangement and lack of cephalothorax setae are both good indicators this isn't Arbanitis
