Henryetta, Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, USA

Size: 4mm, body including head

Moved
Moved from Entelegynes .

Grammonota?
compare with

Moved
Moved from Mesh Web Weavers. Moved back until we can find a reference for this placement. Most Dictynids I've seen have a hairy carapace.

Erigoninae?
Dictynidae usually have a scaly appearance. See
here and
here.
This looks too shiny. I have a hunch it is in the Erigoninae (Linyphiidae).

Dictynid
Very possible, given that I just imaged one pregnant. This must be an adult female. Go to Dictynidae and see both male and female. Compare shape of cephalothorax and eyes.

Thank you Tom.
This is a very pretty spider and I was very curious to know its name.
