Tharpyna diademata
Also known as Diamonded Tharpyna. A small flat spider found under bark. This is a female, the male is smaller and less strongly patterned.
Under bark of a river redgum.
There were several noticed.
Thanks Atul.
That looks correct.
That would indicate a strong healthy female since it seems more boldly patterned than the reference specimen.
Yes, the abdomen is flat and it has retrograde legs like amblypygi but this is a spider.
