One pic would help
For Anyphaenidae, one of the key characteristics for identifying the genus is the location of the tracheal spiracle. In Hibana it is closer to the anterior half of the abdomen and in other taxa it is about halfway between the epigynum and the spinnerets.

 
I added a shot
it doesn't show the full abdomen but it's the best I have. The spiracle is about halfway between the epigynum and the spinnerets.

 
Nevermind
That tracheal spiracle is not in the correct location and I'm starting to think this is one of the Phrurotimpus in Corinnidae.

 
Caught a male
Anyphaena pectorosa today and I'm thinking this is the female.

 
Hopefully a male will turn up
as this egigynum doesn't seem too revealing, thanks Chad.

 
I'm thinking ...
Anyphaena fraterna:

 
I think that's it
The epigynum is a better match for A. fraterna. I've also posted a couple males so I know they are here in my yard. Thanks!
