Corinnidae- Trachelas species? - Meriola decepta

Moved

Moved from Spiders. Lisa also forwarded an email from GB Edwards which states he thinks it is M. decepta. I think we can go ahead and place this here.

Nice new species for the guide!

Meriola decepta

Thank you very much. A lucky find for sure! Keeping my eyes open for a male. I am setting some little hides out, maybe I will get lucky again!

Moved

Moved from ID Request. That family certainly looks correct.

With those marks on the sides I'm not sure if it might be Meriola? Could this be M. decepta? I found an image of M. decepta here but I don't know if it proves anything. There is another image of M. decepta here.

Tough

Tough one, I'm not sure how to tell M. decepta apart from Trachelas.

Meriola or Trachelas

SONA describes the posterior eye row for Trachelas as being strongly recurved and the PER for Meriola as being almost straight.

Eyes

Thanks, looks like that is indeed the case in these images!

information

Information is very limited in the species.
I found a picture of Rick Vetters female M. decepta it looks like this one. Page 13.

Not sure if this will help.http://www.arthropodaselecta.britishspiders.org.uk/articles/18_1_035_046_Kovblyuk_Nadolny.pdf

M.decepta

That is what was suggested. However it is very hard to determine with so few images to go by.
I don't know if a different view would help.
I will be sending this one with the others for ID.
