Opisthoncus sp.
7mm - 1cm
This species has been spotted a number of times here. The apartment habitat is close to a rocky ledge surrounded by broken tree and shrub cover. It is an apartment village. These guys wander all over the place by my doors so I have not established their "true" habitat here
It is agreed that it is Opisthoncus sp. but may be a juvenile O.mordax or O. parcedentatus

Chun, Find a Spider website owner Ron Atkinson suggests it looks more like O. parcedentatus but it could be a juvenile O.mordax. Thank you very much for your assistance.
Yes, your other spotting is darker and looks much larger.
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/167... Chun I am not giving this one an id yet, as you can see from the link it is very different from the other one I have on the site
Chun, structures look correct to be an O. mordax but the colours seem different. I will go back to the images I didn't use. Thanks
I am thinking that this might be an Opisthoncus mordax.
