Probably some Tenodera in another species in your area and I would not see a difference....

I have seen many Statilia and Tenodera. This does not look like a Statilia but looks like a Tenodera. Of Statilia maculata they have a nice marking in between their forearms which I do not think any Tenodera have. I guess all Statilia have something similar but not sure. Euchomenella macrops has similar markings.

could be. i don't know enough to differentiate between the two. is it to do with the marks on the inner side of the forearms?
