I looked at the pics before reading your post and immediately thought some type of Phlogius species.I am in NO way an expert on this. However, while researching the Phlogius genus ("barking spiders"), I noticed that there appear to be many species that are not fully described or sorted out yet. I've seen a lot of "Phlogius sp. ..."with some type of generic name after it. For example, there is Phlogius Crassipes, Phlogius Crassipes "Eunice", Phlogius sp. "Stents", Phlogius sp. "black/presley", and Phlogius sp. "Hirsutus". I'm sure that there are probably more. I know there is someone on Arachnoboards who knows a lot about this species...perhaps try there?Good luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
