ON Tibellus
So I checked the Canadian spider checklist and you should have T. asiaticus, T. maritimus & T. oblongus. After looking at your new post and reading the info page again I think these must be T. oblongus.

Moved from ID Request. John Sloan just made the following comment about these found in Quebec. I'm not sure if that also applies to your spider found in Ontario...

Fortunately, there are only two species listed for Quebec in the 2010 Canada spider species list, T. oblongus and T. maritimus. In Alberta the species can be separated by a pair of black dots on the posterior dorsal part of the abdomen. T. oblongus has the dots, while T. maritimus does not. Dondale and Redner (1978) use the absence of dots as a diagnostic feature to separate T. maritimus from all of the other Canadian species in their Tibellus species key, so this should apply to T. oblongus and T. maritimus in Quebec.
