Collect a male specimen and bring it to the museum in Maastricht. Then I can identify it for you. Male genitalia are essential for reliable identification and the pictures do not show enough of the right detail. ;)

thanks Paul, I might very well do that..I will try to catch one and contact you again if I succeed... groetjes chris

edit: well, that went rather smoothly...4 minutes after leaving the desktop :) The Lordiphosa is a different story, I have to seriously improve my collecting methods :)

Sorry, but the pictures just will not suffice. There is just not enough focus and orientation is troublesome. At least a dorsal view of the genitalia is necessary (in focus).
