spider - Phrurotimpus - Female
San Ramon, Contra Costa County, California, USA
Size: 4mm
Very small spider. Didn't fit anything in particular in the guide, maybe a small wolf spider. The pattern on it seems distinctive as does the dark abdomen and light thorax [?]. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

NOT a wolf spider
this spider has little or no hair on the body which cannot make it a wolf spider.
i think it could be something in the family Amaurobiidae

Coras sp
Looks like you're right, the genus Coras has an excellent fit for this spider

Spider
Here in WV we have wolf spiders with the common name of Forest Wolf Spiders that are small in size. Of specimens that I've seen so far, body length has been 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch. Your spider is a close match in size and body shape. Information about where you found this spider would help, that is, describe the habitat.

Habitat
I found this spider on the underside of a board lying in some woodchips under a tree. The general habitat was that of a golf course. I found it in the company of a theriidae spider and a group of tenebrionids
