Cicurina - Cicurina simplex - Female
Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
October 21, 2012
Size: ~7mm body length
Found under a board around the side of the house. Finally getting the hang of photographing Cicurina epigynums!

After reading through a good chunk of Exline 1936, I think this is likely C. simplex based on the shape of the connecting canals.
