This is a female Leiobunum vittatum. Note striping on femora - dark at the very base, lighter in the middle, then darkening again distally. This doesn't occur in L. aldrichi.

I'm sure that you know them m
I'm sure that you know them more then I do, so I would like to know on what criteria your determined this one as L. aldrichi? Personally, I would have call a L. vittatum based on the lack of white annulation on all femura and the well defined central black mark. Can you explain how you determined L. aldrichi on this one? I'm a newbie with this group, and I would like to know where I'am wrong here. Thanks!
