This individual is definitely Prostheclina sp. Opisthoncus sp females are similar to Prostheclina species which lack brushes on the legs, however they generally tend to have a more elongated, somewhat elliptical abdomen which is propotionally larger than the cephalothorax. They also have notably white scales rather than the prominence of orange and dark brown observable on this individual.
