Moved
Moved from Bathyphantes concolor. Moved all these due to updating taxonomy to match the World Spider Catalog.

I know that one can have more than one image of a specimen, but how do you manage to have more than one specimen of an image? ;-)

I've got two adult males from the vial, both Bathyphantes concolor.

Specimen lot: kmp-06324

 
Sometimes
when I think there's 2 of the same species, and one picture didn't come out very good, I only post the good one. That's probably what happened here. If the second one was something different and worth posting, then I'd post it too. These little guys run around like crazy, and can be frustrating to work with:-)

Moved
Moved from Sheetweb and Dwarf Spiders.
Kevin, I guess the close up of the pedipalp matched up with the drawings for B. concolor. Thanks for identifying another new species for the guide!

It was initially more of a good hunch, but taking a closer look now and comparing the palp to known specimens, I'm rather certain that we've got this one down.

That could... might just be D
That could... might just be Diplostyla (Bathyphantes) concolor, holarctic linyphiid.
