Can anyone say if this is a female E. tenax? Again, I'm not sure which characters are definitive and the patterning on the abdomen seems to be quite variable from photos I've checked.

I would say probably
tenax
, but perhaps an expert will know for certain. If seen, the wide black facial stripe is the clincher.

Thanks Tim. No head on shots of this one, but I'm learning that it helps to see the face and the feet...
