Eastern Parson Spider - Herpyllus ecclesiasticus

Eastern Parson Spider - Herpyllus ecclesiasticus
Spartanburg County, South Carolina, USA
December 17, 2008
Underside of the mouth. Sternum in upper-left, fangs in lower right. I think the indentations on the endites (the pair mouthparts flanking the central labium) are supposed to be a identifying feature for the Gnaphosidae family.
