I realize this is about hopeless, but maybe someone will have an idea. It's a hairy, medium size spider, all black with green on front of jaws (visible here, sort of). It lives in the PVC pipe where it has formed a flattened tunnel web. Wet savanna habitat.

Wet fire-suppressed savanna by powerlilne. Branch leaf 2.4 x 0.5mm, stem leaf 1.6 x 0.8mm, all stem leaves pointed. This is one of my "problem" S. recurvum -- that is, it fits S. recurvum except that all the stem leaves are pointed rather than rounded.
