Adult Male - Drassyllus niger - Male
Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada
June 30, 2009
Size: BL = 5mm
Drassyllus niger (Gnaphosidae). Collected with a pitfall trap set in grass and low vegetation.

Species ID is based on a match with the palp diagrams in Guide d'identification des Araignees (Araneae) du Quebec by Paquin and Duperre, page 76. Genus ID was based on the presence of a preening comb on the ventral side of the 3rd and 4th metatarsi (at the distal end), and the large PME.
