Possible Thiodina spider. - Sarinda hentzi
Cass County, Texas, USA
August 3, 2008
Size: 1/8"
This was a very small spider. It took me a while to even be sure it was not an ant. It was ant sized and moved like an ant. At one point it jumped off my hand and spun a safety line. It was then I knew it was actually a spider, lol. I have posted an image of another spider that was smaller and basically white but with the same eye details. It was Identified as a Thiodina so I am guessing this one is also but I am wrong a lot more than I am right.

Agreed
Sarinda hentzi looks right, and this would be a juvenile. Also compare the distinctive palps here to the ones on my adult female:


I found a "family" of 2nd, 3rd and 4th instar S. Hentzi (not an unusual grouping for this species) in my backyard last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see that even the youngest instars have these same palps.

and it also resembles
spiders seen in Subfamily Synagelinae - Antlike Jumping Spiders.
