Moved
Moved from Argyrodes/Faiditus/Neospintharus/Rhomphaea. I think we can safely move there here now that we have more images from your area of spider that are more mature.

..
Do you suppose these are all the same species?

Levi published a couple papers about Wisconsin spiders early on (it's where he started out here in the States). The only one of these I see listed in them is Neospintharus trigonum. Do you have a more recent spider list for Wisconsin?

 
spider list
Afraid I can't help with this. But I do have more photos of these spiders, each one with slight differences in color.

 
..
I can't remember whether I've already asked you before (so apologies in advance, if that is the case), but perhaps you would be willing to collect a couple of these?

Although I should add that I have a feeling these may not yet be mature (this specimen, for example).

 
spider - immature
I thought this one might be immature because is was a bit smaller than the others. I checked out the insructions for sending spiders on your page. Maybe I'll try this next year.
