Erigone atra
These were in a pitfall trap (in propylene glycol, so no live photos) along a beetle bank in an arable field. The toothed edge to the carapace and rather whacky pedipalps looked very familiar so I think it's a species I've seen before but not had the resources to identify.

This time the pitfall trap was dry so so it was alive when collected.
