Coelotes sp? for ID

Clumber Park 2 October 2011



Found under a log. It stayed still just long enough for this single image in a rather defensive position, then run away. I did not see the web, assumed it was inside the log.

Am I correct in assuming it is of the genus Coelotes?

I would say it's more likely to be an Amaurobius species

Many thanks sebastianbrawn for your guidance.
Having looked again, I can see your suggestion is obviousley correct, and I was way off the mark.
Thank you,
Les

Hi Les. You were closer than you think Coelotes can appear very similar to Amaurobius . The markings tend to be a lot fainter on Coelotes
