I think Philodromus aureolus is more likely
:)
Oops! Haha! I am so used to seeing your spottings from North America I didn't even look at the location. Silly me *blush*. Glad you were able to find an ID from it. I didn't think it looked exactly right for P. marxi, but it was very close.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Tamar. P marxi is a North American species but I was able to find a match with Philodromus dispar.
Possibly Philodromus marxi, Metallic Crab Spider (male) : http://bugguide.net/node/view/104816
