Ecribellate
Nice shot. Glad you posted it...it will be very helpful for an ID. I can't see a cribellum anterior to the spinnerets, so if this is an Amaurobid, only a couple genera are ecribellate. Coras would be one, along with Wadotes. Those are the only ones based on the info in SONA. On the first page of this post I think that Kevin and Lynette were thinking about Coras? I think that sounds like a good place to start, although I haven't done much further research yet. We can't rule out Cybaeidae, though... I will try to do some research tonight. I tried to match your epigyne photo to some Coras diagrams but I had no luck. Either because I am not experienced enough or because the spider isn't an adult yet. Not sure which...probably human error. lol!

Nice work Mandy
Getting a good match for the epigyne looks like matching fingerprints. Maybe she isn't mature, so that would make things difficult. With a little luck she might get named. Thanks for the continued help!
