Larinia directa
Copyright © 2015 Iustin Cret

Larinia directa
Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, USA
July 12, 2015
Size: 3.8 mm
Found it in the morning on grass. It had some silk threads connected to the grass.
I think it is Larinia directa
Female or immature?

Moved from Spiders.

The length of the first patella and tibia
should be greater than 1.6x the carapace length for directa. I'm not positive but that seems to be the case with this spider.

Thank you
L.directa is the only species of Larinia mentioned in Catalogue of Texas Spiders (by D. Allen Dean)
What do you think, can it be moved to species page or better to wait?

I think you can move it to species
Levi, 1975 also shows directa as the only one in Texas though I wouldn't be surprised if the others have made it to there over time.
