At original size, the photo permits elimination of P. notostictus, leaving crucifer and leightoni as possibilities. Of the two, crucifer appears more likely (also from non-sandy substrate), but not definite. |

I suggest that this is indeed P. notostictus. It is defintiely not crucifer and does not resemble SW Cape leightoni. |
