Long shot but ID please,

[Gigas]

I found this girl on my shirt after I walked through a heavily wooded area, thought it was a sling but now I think its a tiny adult. I couldn't get all the colours it shows to show up in the pictures, but its basically coloures like grey/green lichen.

I think it may be Theridion sp.

Out of one family and into another, I now think its in Mimetidae, from a thread i remember Buthus posting a picture in, open for id sugestions

 

[Widowman10]

just a quick guess, did you look up the american house spider (Achaearanea tepidariorum) yet? just whizzing through and thought i would drop that in.

Achaearanea sp. has been mentioneed as a maybe on another site, Its a possibilty

Hey, have you looked into the family Nesticidae?

I can't see the eye structure in the pics, and I can't find my "Know The Spiders", but the coloration, especially the striped legs and black mark on the carapace remind me of this family. Here's a cool page with a lot of Theridiidae and Nesticidae on it.

Keijia tincta [=Theridion tinctum]

If you still have the specimen then check its sternum. It will be light with a longitudinal black stripe (of dots). Of European Theridion sensu lato, only K. tincta has it, and this is for sure K. tincta, not T. mystaceum.

I will endeavor to check this but it won't be an easy task.

Couldn't see what you were describing.

The black stripe is visible on both of your photos. On the one with the arrow I have strengthen the stripe. Theridion varians and T. hemerobium have sometimes almost the same habitus as your specimen, but these do not have the sternal median stripe (sternum is usually pale except the borders). T. melanurum/mystaceum have dark carapace and sternum is also comletely dark brown and the legs are also darker.

So its is Keijia tincta previously theridion tinctum?

Thank you for your help

Jupp! That's right.
