I'll hasten a guess at id. Confirmation or help appreciated.
Leiobunum rotundum? at Nunhead Cemetery in August 
Next two images, either Rilaena triangularis or Oligolophus tridens ? at Buckhurst Hill Woods, 21 August, today   |

I would really need a larger image of the ocularium to be certain about both of these species.
The Leiobunum does suggest L. blackwalli to me. The ocularium appears to have a black line dividing the eyes. It is white in L. rotundum.
The second specimen does look like Paroligolophus agrestis to me; reddish tint and a low ocularium with small spines. But I would like a clear view of the 'trident' on it's 'nose' to be sure of this suggestion.
But Gordon will probably be along soon, and he can give a better informed opinion. I'm still trying to learn Harvestmen. |

The second image is no clearer enlarged - it was very overcast and 1/60sec f.4 with the flash didn't produce a decent image.

Perfectly correct descriptions Geoff, no need to add any further  .
Along with L. rotundum, these are the most common in my garden, so i see them quite often ... |
