How do you differentiate ...
this from Eridantes erigonoides?

I had been going by
the odd asymmetrical dark spot that all of the ones I've found had. Now that I look at the diagrams again I'm thinking these are probably Eridantes erigonoides. I admit I was having a bit of a hard time reconciling these with the diagram when Chad placed the other one. I'm also not so certain about this one and had been meaning to ask you for an opinion.-



It looks kind of different that the others?

I'm not sure ...
I figured that one was just damaged. These are tough.

If you get a chance
could you look at this one-



I'm thinking it's Grammonota maculata based on the diagram and description in Bishop and Crosby, 1932.

Possibly ... it's the closest ...
I'm seeing too. There's a photo here if you didn't already see it. Slight differences but still may be it.

Thanks
I'm pretty sure that's a match. The spermathecae are larger in the linepig photo but everything else looks close.

There are epigynum photos of both species here

A nice collection if you weren't aware of it.
