@Harrisi what do think - Saltis mutans is not a bad match but looks like our un-described rockhopper species

Hi Michael. Initially I thought not, but on exploring images online it may well be. In S. mutans (males) the longer legs 3 are far more ornamental, with a terminal white tarsae and 'tassels' descending from the medial femoral aspect. If I have to give a D then I would say no but I did not that Jurgen Otto actually described this sp. in 2012 so a squizz at the paper might help.
