Murricia uva

Refer to Foord's description at the link below Most records of Hersiliidae in Florida, including many identified as Yabisi habanensis , are probably either M. uva or Iviraiva pachyura . The two confirmed Florida records of M. uva were collected and keyed out as specimens. Discussion by specialists on iNaturalist favor I. pachyura for some observations there; iNat has several observations of I. pachyura from its native range in South America, but zero verifiable observations of M. uva from either Florida or its native range in Africa. Photographers hoping to have their observations conclusively identified (without collecting and keying out the specimen) should attempt to get detailed photos of the eye arrangement; lateral views would probably be most useful, but dorsal ones might work if clear enough.
