Wonderful photos. The body markings seem to vary a little with this species, but I have no doubt that it is H. treleaveni, as per ID submitted. I saw a nice specimen in Zimbabwe recently, and will be submitting photos to iSpot very soon.

Hyllus

Thanks, Joan.

I was thinking Hyllus, but I couldn't quite match the abdominal markings with a pic of any of the species.
