That sounds like mine. Flattened head, prominent triangular snout,
somewhat of a low squarish body---if she's really a _Crossobamon_, then it
has to be the most variable species I've *ever* heard of, in significant
aspects of body shape as well as the petty stuff like markings.
What Glades had as _S. sthenodactylus_, it turns out, may be the same
thing; they're too big to actually be _sthenodactylus_, and they
purportedly have triangular upturned snouts. Two are enroute to my
doorstep as I write this; when they arrive I'll try to get some pictures of
them and of the female I already have for comparison.
