Hey @WendyEM, I just did some more digging and you're right about this one! While Both H. invensuta and A. jovialis juveniles look very similar, the later has a couple white dots on the opisthosoma as well as the presence of white pedipalps. The first leg pair of H. invensuta is flatter, a bit wider and longer in comparison to A. jovialis
Holoplatys invenusta

@WendyEM, this is the juvenile colouration of A. jovialis. They look remarkably different to the adults. Holoplatys have much flatter and broader cephalothoraxs and elongated opisthosoma
