Possible Clubiona - Hibana velox

Possible Clubiona - Hibana velox
Frisco, Dare County, North Carolina, USA
June 20, 2017
Size: Aprox 1 inch
After a rain, this was hanging out on the porch till around midnight. There was a cobweb type web around the wooden pieces that it was sitting on. Eye placement looks like Clubionidae. Not sure specifics, but really cool to see a sac spider that big in the Outer Banks

Sac spider
Hi Redtail Coyote,
This looks like a Broad-faced Sac spider. Nice find! I learned this family as Eutichuridae, but I think Clubionidae is the current version.
Have a great day!

 
Actually it fits better
With ghost spider. It's a good match to Aysha velox which we are currently housing here.

 
Ayesha vs clubiona
Am I correct in understanding that what makes the difference from it being in the Anyphaenidae vs Clubionidae in these shots is the anterior median eye size?

 
According to our info page:
Similar in appearance to sac spiders, and used to be placed in the same family. They differ in that they have two rows of club-shaped hairs on the bottoms of their feet, and their tracheal spiracle is located well in front of the spinnerets, unlike most spiders which have their tracheal opening right in front of the spinnerets.
