I would say you are right. The pattern on the opisthsoma is very distinctive. |

Smoggy's confirmation is correct. The body size for L.rupicola is given as 6-8.5 mm for females and 5.5-6 for males. The second species of the genus Liocranum - L.rutilans is larger: 8.5-10 mm for females and 8 mm for males, but it has uniformly brownish abdomen with no pattern. So, your species is undoubtedly L.rupicola, although it's slightly larger than is considered. |
