Family Xystodesmidae? Xystocheir dissecta?

In a flood plain (underwater) in a forested area. It was crawling around like it had no problem with the wet conditions.

    Cool! You might also want to compare it to Scoterpes sp. Posted 6 years ago

      Although..now that I'm looking there are some things OFF about that ID. The head shape is closer, but the segmentation/plating is closer to my ID. Most Scoterpes that I"m seeing have hair-like extensions as well (thus the Trichopetalidae family). I'm stumped! Posted 6 years ago

        I agree and couldn't make out the extended hairs in your photo, but I was wondering if they would be harder to see underwater? I'm not sure. This is a stumper for sure. Posted 6 years ago
