Micrargus herbigradus


This was in a pitfall trap in a grassy area beside a wet woodland. Scanning through Roberts to match epigyne drawings, Micrargus herbigradus was the only species I stopped at, but on my initial look I didn't think it was quite right. After exploring various websites I ended up coming back to herbigradus and realising that it was right after all.
