Dirksia cinctipes - female

Dirksia cinctipes - Female
Virginia Lake, west of Wrangell, Southeast Alaska County, Alaska, USA
September 17, 2010
Size: 4 mm
Found this spider in the moss under hemlock/spruce forest near the Virginia Lake cabin on the mainland west of Wrangell. They're easy to mistake for an immature Cybaeus. The ones inhabiting moss seem to have greener spots than those I've collected in brown leaf litter. The weather had been very dry, so the moss clump I grabbed with this spider to photograph it was very washed out.
