Unless she's in very rough shape she's almost certainly not apophysis (I need to get a better look at the femurs), but given how sparse the setae are I can't really make a firm call either way. She does have light setae on the underside of the femurs, but I've seen many pics of stirmi with similar hair. I've been looking at pictures and comparisons quite a bit, so once I get a better look at her hopefully I'll be able to make a better call.Edit: Yup, I saw that post... on AB, right? At any rate I've had apophysis and blondi, most recently in 2008ish; I actually had an apophysis in the 90's when they were rare as hens teeth. I think the hardest part about this individual is how rough she is, and my hesitance to disturb her. We'll see!</blockquote>
