Lynette,

In my opinion there are discrepancies with Clubionidae and Gnaphosidae to eye arrangement and shape; also spinnerets. I have left it in Clubionidae as a matter of convenience, not of conviction. I rely primarily on this Golden Guide; "spiders and their kin" which as you must know is of limited help in identifying genus, let alone species. Your specimen is very similar. I suppose if my house were situated in dry marsh, scattered with stones, I would notice a visitor.
