I found this black beauty in my shed the other night, It was vertically on the wall, and the grey area behind it is the mortar between the bricks, to give an idea of size.





I also think this is the same species, tho it was in the house.

Too hairy I think. I get a feeling of Haplodrassus or Gnaphosa. A close up of the eyes would in this case help.

The cephalothorax on a gnaphosa in my book looks far bigger tho. Haplodrassus is close but mine looks near black,not brown.
What you cant see is at least 4 'dimples' on the abdomen(scutums?)

Looking again Im thinking the two spiders i photographed are different species entirely!
The second one has a very shiny cephalo. and the firtst one is less hairy.
