Haplodrassus signifer

I identified this as Gnaphosidae based on the shape of the eyes and the spinarets, and then as Haplodrossus based on the faint pattern on the abdomen. The spider moulted in the pot after collection but still appeared to be immature female as although it had looked like there was a trace of an epigyne, when I cleared the abdomen for a better view this had all but disappeared. The species is therefore unconfirmed, however I think signifer is the only species likely to occur in mid Norfolk. Perhaps silvestris could occur here but this was in lowland meadow not woodland.
