Platnickina mneon female - Platnickina mneon - female

Platnickina mneon female - Platnickina mneon - Female
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
May 5, 2020
Size: ~3.5mm
On glass patio door at night. Second one of these I've found at my house. Since this spider was hanging out on glass and I had a view of the venter I decided to try and get a photo of the epigyne. Results are not microscope quality but surprisingly good enough for identification purposes. Not bad for a live spider and a standard macro setup anyway. I used the drawings from Kumada 1986 for comparison.
