Small missing-sector weaver - Zygiella dispar

Small missing-sector weaver - Zygiella dispar
Alameda County, California, USA
March 22, 2010
This (probably baby) spider had a missing-sector web in the lemon tree this morning. It doesn't have exactly the markings of the Zygiellas or Parazygiellas that are the prominent missing-sector weavers here.

From Rod Crawford
Some of the Berg photos, such as 297728, 309188, 379108 show the leg color banding plainly enough to make them probably dispar. Others I can't tell.

Moved from Parazygiella / Zygiella.

Zygiella
would be my guess.

Markings
It differs from mature Zs in that the repeated white shapes on its abdomen go only about halfway to the posterior end. In spiders with this kind of marking, do the immatures typically have fewer of those than adults and get the row of them extended when they molt?

markings
certainly change as they molt. Keep an eye on it.
