Moved
Moved from ID Request. Yes, I think that ID is very likely though we could probably stand to do more research on these when we have time.

 
I had a comment from FB that this might be...
A. nephila but I see now it says A. nephila is only from Florida and one other state (not OK). And A. pluto looks nothing like this one... so out of the three species noted as being in Bugguide range on the Argyrodes info page doesn't that leave this one being A. elevatus? It's the only one that fits physical description and range for this spider. Just wondering if you agree? Thanks!

 
A. elevatus
is where I would have placed it as well. There are some species in some other genera that I never got a handle on which is why I am always cautious with these. I certainly wouldn't argue if you place this on the A. elevatus page, but I really should revisit the entire group since it's been soooo long since I studied them. This is the page that was created to place the confusing group.

 
Thanks Lynette!
I also have another picture from Deep Fork Wildlife preserve of the same type of spider still sitting in Araneae... different county.

 
You're not talking
about this one are you?

 
Oh, it was moved!
Heh. Didn't know, I missed it =) Thanks again!
