Unknown spider - Elaver
Henrico County, Virginia, USA
May 23, 2009
I photographed this spider in the dark using a flashlight and camera flash, thus the image could be better quality than it is. After a lot of searching, I keep coming back to the Hacklemesh Weaver, Callobius. Maybe Callobius bennetti? Am I even close? Any help with I.D. is greatly appreciated.

Moved from Callobius. Mandy is correct. Upon closer observations the spinnerets are larger in Elaver and the carapace is smoother. I added these two spiders to the Similar Looking Spiders in Different Families article here.

Thank you!
Lynette and Mandy,

Thanks very much for your help in IDing my spider. I wasn't aware of the Similar Looking Spiders in Different Families page either. Very helpful! I've bookmarked the page for future reference.

I hadn't seen it until just now. Very cool! And well done!

Misplaced?
I think this one might have gotten misplaced? Pretty sure it's an Elaver species. I was just browsing and caught it. See what you think...
