Tarantula - Eucteniza relata

Tarantula - Eucteniza relata
Copperas Cove, Coryell County, Texas, USA
October 21, 2009
This is a very small tarantula found injured in a garage, perhaps by one of the resident cats. While taking the photos I could barely see the pedipalps move thru the macro lens but the next day it was definitely dead. I have another live specimen collected on 10/29/09 from the same garage location. It is about half the size of this one but appears to be an adult male.

Ummidia sp.?
Looks a lot like an Ummidia species from the Ctenizidae family of Mygalomorphs.

[EDIT] Please disregard this comment, it is probably wrong. See the photo with the quarter (6th photo) for more info.
