Epigyne, ventral aspect (prepared) - Theridion differens - Female
Pepperell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA

You can just see the openings of the copulatory ducts coming down medially near the lower edge of the epigastric furrow; this is at magnification of 45X and a greatly cropped image (originally 2600 x 2000).
