Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[ExFmem]

Concerning this wasp - ID'd as Stizus sp. by Dr. Simon van Noort, just as Klippies thought.
Here's the WaspWeb page:

Will add it to the book.

"I have no clue for your first one, but the second one looks pretty much like the male Thyene coccineovittata"

Yes, perfect. Also, what makes you think the first one is not this as well? I'm assuming you meant the first two pics of the four I posted together - that I just assumed were the same. Curses, foiled again.

Re file 5 and 12: they look different to Thyene, Brancus, Evarcha and I don't know what they are

Yep, tried the same ones to no avail. Will just have to move along...

I even considered that file 5 is an immature of file 12 - if you close one eye and use lots of imagination.

Well done, ExFmem, your wasps go to the iziko database

Just a pity that nobody can ID to species level

The pattern on top of the "head" is different. The next Thyene on Vida's site has a similar pattern.

Might be another Thyene

We need an esay one now inbetween and then I'll get back to the file 5/12 mysteries

If you need me to post smaller pics so you don't have to scroll so much, just let me know.

file 5 and 12:

I think they are juvenile Hyllus argyrotoxus

Can you check if you have seen them at the same time and place as the male?

Here same filed under this species

Large pics are just excellent

Phintella aequipes

You have some more of this species from other trips.

The question is: Are they all P. aequipes or maybe an undiscribed Phintella.

This one goes under aequipes, IMO
