Hi Simeon,
good question.
Granted that I didn't find any description of
kochi (except the genitals), I based on the description of
thorelli in the wiki and comparing the photos of the two species on Pierre's website:
1. the legs of my spider have well marked dark rings, like
thorelli and not like
kochi (see photos on Pierre's website),
2. the whole ventral section of my spider corresponds with
thorelli and not with
kochi, as I note on the photos of the wiki, of araneae.ch and of Pierre,
3. the longitudinal yellow stripe of the sternum of my spider is identical to that of
thorelli, while that of
kochi is branched and in any case different (Pierre's site),
4. finally, near the place, I found in recent days this 10mm adult female that corresponds in everything (pattern, ventral section, sternum, legs) to my spider and to
Leviellus thorelli. Perhaps the shape of the epigyne can help in identification.
