I've been seeing this species of spider for a few years at this location, always right at the water line of the lake and equally at home on land or water, darting across the water surface with ease. This species is depicted on Bugguide as undetermined but links the below as similar from the Dominican Republic. It seems reasonable to at least record this here under the generic level until things are more accurately determined.

Difficult to place. In the 2018 world generic key, keys out to Nipponentomon. Differs rather strongly in the posession of a strongly developed rostrum. Rostrum is similar to Acerentomon, but that genus differs drastically in the foretarsal chaetotaxy.
