Tharrhalea sp. flower spider Tharrhalea variabilis, Tharrhalea evanida and Tharrhalea multopunctata are impossible to tell apart in the field and even with a microscope, the epigyne is small and faint. <br />
<br />
Until recently this spider was known as a species in genus Diaea but in 2014 was known as a Lehtinelagia species. However, just two years later, and very controversially, the genus was further changed to Tharrhalea.<br />
