Not sure. Have you a view that shows a strong ventral seta on the mid tibia?

Yes, the last image seems to show an av seta, so I think it could be L. obtusa. According to the key the closest distance between the eye margins should be as small as the distance between the posterior ocelli. The eyes do look close together, but not quite that close, so I'm still not absolutely sure.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
