So first the long arista rules out Amblyspilopus, which usually has short arista. Frons highly polished metallic blue-green, which seems to match my picture. CI with either 3-7 strong lateral spine-like setae..., which is not clearly visible in my picture. FI and TI in both sexes usually without major setae, which seems to fit. So my current not very educated guess is Plagiozopelma. Thank you again John Carr for the diagnostic characters. |t
