It is not a Crab spider which falls on family Thomisidae but a thorny web builder belongs to family Araneidae
An Lynx spider from family Oxyopidae an Oxyopes sp.
We need to have the original size to sort in to group but there is no doubt about the rareness of this species it is really interesting.
If I could go through the specimen or can get some more information like details of ventral view with photographs and scale and eye character with photographs
THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THE UNIQUENESS OF THE SPIDERS !
I THOUGHT THIS IS REALLY A RARE ONE. IN FAMILY ARANEIDAE IT IS IMILAR TO A CYCLOSA (SIZE IS ABNORMALLY LARGE LOOKING), a NEPHILA (HIGHLY DIVERSE) AND EVEN WITH THELACANTHA (NOT COMPARABLE WITH THE EXISTING SPECIES). A VIVID TAXONOMIC STUDY IS REQUIRE WITH THE ULTRA MICROSCOPIC VIEWS ON EPIGYNE,AND DETAILS OF THE SPINNERET.
