Callobius bennetti

It looks like this species is a little variable in darkness.

But they all do seem

to have the same pattern. What do you think about some of the other images there in the guide?

The spiders under Amaurobiida

The spiders under Amaurobiidae are all a little different from these, but I'm thinking this one might be a young Callobius bennetti.
It's cephalothorax is taking on the same shape as this one.

Nope.

This is another hackled-mesh weaver in the family Amaurobiidae.
