Kevin, you're doing a great job identifying these spiders, even ones in bad condition.

Thanks.
Thanks. Of course, if I hadn't waited 6 months, it might not have dried out on me, but live and learn. And not to forget, it's a real pleasure having habitus images of the live specimens -- I know how much work that is.

Meioneta fabra
Unfortunately it was in a batch that dried out on me (the snap vials somehow allow evaporation), so the specimen, including pedipalps became quite desiccated and the left palp was not so helpful.

I just clipped off the right pedipalp, which is in better condition -- this is Meioneta fabra.

Specimen: kmp-06321

Just molted?
Look at how some of the leg segments are bowed.

It looks like it
is freshly molted. I hope it's good enough for identification purposes.
