    Could be in the family Ctenidae. Maybe Centroctenus sp.

      Thanks so much. A great starting point that allowed me to dig deeper, found some gems:

      An entire site dedicated to these wandering spiders. Perhaps I can ID some more?

      The thing that I find so unsettling is that these results do not seem indexed by Google at all, whilst it's valuable content directly matching the keywords we search for.       Posted 2 years ago

        Nice! That looks like a useful site!

        I came across this one for Orthoptera, which may be useful for you:
