Long-legged spider - Physocyclus enaulus

Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
March 12, 2006
Size: 3/8 inch

Unfortunately this one was found floating in a bowl in the sink but I've never seen one quite like it. I has very long legs. I was wondering if it could be a Cribellate because of the interesting underside of this little critter.

Pholcidae.

I second the compliments on the image quality. I have nothing to contribute on the identification, other than to say that Physocyclus is in the family of cellar spiders (Pholcidae).
