Trabeops sp.?
Looks like a really good match to the ones in the guide. I wonder if it could be T. marxi? I've never seen one, so don't know what they look like, but this site lists T. marxi as having a range from southern Canada south to Florida. That matches your area better than what it gives for Trabeops aurantiacus' range (assuming that it means south from Alabama).

Where did you find these other species? All I can find under "Trabeops" is T. aurantiacus.

Hi Kevin, spiders of Alabama site
see the link in the comment directly above yours.

 
?
Trebacosa marxi? Time for new reading glasses. :-)

BTW, my good friend points out that (actually he tactfully asked whether) this specimen is immature. Do we have images of mature specimens?

Oh ho you are right
Oopsie. I guess that takes care of that issue. :)

 
Some of those..
Trabeops images already in the guide list body sizes of 2-3mm. I know I might be a little off, but I know it was larger than 3mm. T. marxi isn't in the guide yet. I hope it is in the 6mm body size range.

 
Trabeops aurantiacus' range
I might not have the range right for Trabeops aurantiacus. I just found a PDF thesis article that says it was found in Maine. I'm not sure how reliable the info is, though. Maybe someone with better resources can tell you more.

 
Trabeops range
is shown here. Looks to be fairly widespread in the eastern US.

The statement at Spiders of Alabama seems somewhat abbreviated, doesn't it? Seems to imply "extends [from Alabama] south to..." yet the author references Kaston, which states "New England south to Florida and west to Wisconsin"(1).

 
Thanks Jay,
Can you please post that on the info page?

 
Got it
