Oh, I just meant that thumbnails don't show as much detail because they are small :-)
Welcome S Frazier.
Those tumbnails can be trusted because those photographs are taken by Dr. Wayne Maddison himself - a famous Jumping spider scientist.
Yes it is. Only thumbnail photographs -- but they look promising for Cocalodes. Thanks ChunXingWong!
Finding it's ID is very tough.
My best ID suggestion is Cocalodes, a jumping spider genus endemic to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
