Thanks for checking up on that. :)

Not Certain

But, it makes me think of Family Tengellidae.

With those very visible spinnerets

we were expecting you to say Clubionidae, but we are just as uncertain!

… john and jane balaban, 15 March, 2009 - 9:31am

I agree

Clubionidae seems a better match.

That was my first thought, bu

That was my first thought, but something about its look made me start second guessing myself. The spinnerets would be a problem for my guess.

Maybe something from Clubiona?

Choices seem to be:

Clubiona mutata Gertsch AZ
Clubiona oteroana Gertsch AZ, NM
Clubiona trivialis C. L. Koch AZ
Elaver achuca (Roddy) AZ
Elaver madera (Roddy) AZ

Clubiona sp or Elaver sp ......

Thanks Lynette........that gives me several options, but I have no clue how to proceed further!

I'm out of resources

I think contacting someone in the area would be best....or someone with other resources.

… Lynette Schimming, 15 March, 2009 - 3:38pm

other resources

Thanks much Lynette.

… Robert L. Pearson, 15 March, 2009 - 4:14pm

sorry to mislead you Robert

it turns out it was a Gnaphosid after all!

… Lynette Schimming, 24 March, 2009 - 8:28am

Gnaphosid

Thanks Lynette, I do appreciate you extra dilligence. I'll see what I can find under that name on Google. Drassodes lapidosus looks close, but???
