Why still under Microlinyphia when pretty clearly Myrmecotypus lineatus?

Cheers :-)
I couldn't find any pictures on the net to compare it to, so I'll put it on the Corinnid page for now.

It
is the only known species in the US. Check out these
images
. Looks like the same species as yours. Lineata occurs from New England to FL.

2 on the same day

As
previously noted, too much Hess.
After taking a look at Jay's new images, and being more thorough while trying to ID, I found out I was wrong here. Moved to proper page.
