Menemerus sp. of some kind?
Sept./Kruger - taken same date and within 13 minutes of the one you posted as Menemerus sp. yesterday
2017 file 7
This one has a diff. abdomen pattern and diff. color palpi, and maybe white "knees"
This one confused me too because of the diff shape, but now I think it is a juvenile female of Menemerus and the white scales on the pedi are maybe only prominent in males?
We make it a Menemerus, I'd say.

If you agree, I put it to the Diptera book. We have the male, and yours is the female.

This is from the subfamily Phthiriinae, Bombyliidae and obviously there is only one genus represented in SA:
Phthiria.
What do you think?
I can not find any paper on SA species, only this list

I have been looking, too. No direct matches
We post it just as
Euphorine Jumping spider
Subfamily: Euophryinae

Sounds okay be me.
I don't know anything about Euphorines, but will try to dig something up.

Since there is already an entry for
Menemerus sp., with lots of info. on the genus, should I add these pics to that, or just do another entry without posting all the info. again?
