This is a female Spined Microthena!! I just saw it for the first time today at the Monte Alban Ruins in Oaxaca. The website ipminstitute. org is what helped me to ID it. Page 47a has this species. https://ipminstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Spider-Guide-Wegner-BASF-Revised-12-2-14.pdf

oops, spelled MicrAthina, not MicrOthena.

Actually, it’s Micrathena. Hope nobody needs to correct me. The name refers to her being a small form of Athena the female goddess (of the hunt?).
