Simitidion sp.

    Family - Theridiidae
    Genus - Simitidion
    I thought this Spider was Lepthyphantes sp.
    I sent these photo's to Peter Harvey of the BAS.
    ''not Lepthyphantes, a theridiid, probably Simitidion
    (used to be Theridion)  simile, from legs looks as though may be
    juvenile and pattern is variable so can't be absolutely sure, but shape
    and carapace colour suggests this. I can see why you thought
    Lepthyphantes though'.
