Phrurotimpus is also possible
I've been having trouble separating these from Phrurotimpus lately. They all used to be grouped together,and I can see why.

"Spider Bible"
Lynette,
I recently found the "Spider Bible," you and Mandy use, on Amazon for $29. Quite a definitive work ... way too much information for the uninitiated. I'm amazed how much you know about these critters. One day, after I have a good grip on moths, leafhoppers and psocids, I may give it a go ... no time in the foreseeable future, though :)

In the meantime, thanks for all your help.

:) You're welcome
Yes I have a lot of guides... probably over 50 including the PDFs I regularly use. However, taking on the spiders is why I gave up working on all the other bugs. It's really too hard to do everything... unless you just stick to the easy ones.
