Elaver achuca
Elaver achuca is a species of spider in the spider family Clubionidae.[1][2] It was first named Clubionoides achuca in 1966.[3] The species is close in structure and appearance to Elaver excepta, but the ventral division of E. achuca's tibial apophysis is not as broad as that of E. excepta, and the dorsal division is strongly curved.[3]
