Spider ID 4

[sebastianbawn]

This female has stumped me. I first thought a Therididae, but she was approx 10mm. Her abdomen was around 6mm high! I havent eve ncome across this species before so any help would be appreciated. Found in amongst timber at work in Bristol

Bit out on a limb as I'm away from home at the minute. Mimetidae sprung to mind on this one but not 100% from these photo's.

Had a look, only one genus in that family Ero with a choice of 4 species. Unfortunately none show an y markings close to this one, and all their cephalothorax is light with a broad dark band, whereas this specimen is all dark. Im really not sure on this lady

When pregnant, they can be larger than the sizes mentioned in literature. I'm certainly not an expert, so I couldn't tell you which genus it is, but I would keep looking in the Theridiidae section.

Tough to say from these photos - possibly an Achaearanea sp (A. tepidariorum springs to mind). They are very variable on colour and markings so that's not 100% confirmation.
