    Cool spider!

    May I know where you heard about "Onoculus"? Can't find anything about it online.     Posted 2 years ago

    Searching further I came across this article from 2018 about a new species of this genus, as yet without a scientific name, but it differs from the one pictured. The article lists 6 existing species, but unfortunately my searches yielded nothing - I couldn't find a single photo of any of them. Turns out to be a pretty rare genus. Excellent find Paul!
