I submit a photo of the spider and two views of the male palp. I am not geared up to take 'normal' photos, only photomicrographs using a compound microscope. I have attempted a shot of the spider, which is 2.5-3mm long. I am pretty sure it is a Linyphidae species, and if so the palp is not figured in Roberts (1995). But in the restricted Linyphidae part there is a drawing on p. 347 of Hypomma fulvum, which shows the black abdomen and lighter carapace. My specimen also has the raised carapace as shown in tghe drawing, and the same number of eyes. I see this species occurs in fens, and I caught it sweeping for flies in a small fen near Bridport. Of course I have no details of the other species of this genus. I can provide further details of locality etc if it is necessary.
