Romphaea sp.

This species is small (the body length of the male about 3mm) slender, pale to transparent, with a long abdomen peaked with a blunt, bent witch's hat rear end. The peak underneath to the spinnerets is also pronounced. Legs are extremely long and slender as are the pedipalps. The cephalothorax is almost entirely transparent in the male.
