Kevin, I did save this specimen, and you can confirm the species in a month or so.

Moved
For now, I'll put it in the family page. If someone confirms Coriarachne, I'll move it over. Thanks for the help.

Another possibility
It might also fit into the Bassaniana genus.

Bassaniana utahensis?
Looks a lot like a Bassaniana utahensis specimen of Rod Crawford's. Distribution would also fit, wouldn't it? This is hopefully one of the specimens that Tom is saving for me.

Not sure
The flat/low carapace makes me think more of Coriarachne sp. than Xysticus.

Nice pictures.
