Green lynx spider is just a common name for not only one lynx species, some Peucetia species occurs worldwide. You can safely call it just Oxyopid.

Thanks for your suggestion Ashish! Unfortunately it seems this spider only occurs in North America.. Do you have any alternative suggestions?
Ashish
Must be Green Lynx spider.
