Bassaniana Spider 1 - Coriarachne brunneipes - female

Bassaniana Spider 1 - Coriarachne brunneipes - Female
Rattlesnake-Valley, Klickitat County, Washington, USA
December 29, 2016
Size: 3mm
Rod Crawford identified this spider genus as Bassaniana, a bark crab spider, and suggested it is either Coriarachne brunneipes or Bassaniana utahensis. He said "You tell them apart by whether the main carapace spines are blunt/clubbed (utahensis) or pointed (brunneipes)." It was found under a shed roof in a box.The shed is located on a valley floor - elevation approximately 900' Seems to be a cold hardy species. Thanks!

I would lean more
Coriarachne brunneipes on this one

 
I'm inclined ...
to agree. I don't remember what I was looking at or if it was a misfile at the time. I may have been misinterpreting the leg spines.

 
Oh I see,
I forgot to read the caption. It wasn't my ID, it was Rod Crawford's so maybe I went with that but not sure why I didn't place it here.
