Hi there, This spider has been subject for discussion for quite some time now. The latest (very uncertain) ID is Diaea dorsata (and then one with some sort of colourvariation or, in fact, a young individual).  I'm still in the dark here. Can anyone give a definite ID? The picture was taken in june/july this year, in my own garden (shrubs, fruittrees and grass) somewhere in the suburbs of the town of Alkmaar (the Netherlands).

i think that this is not Diaea.. with this photo it can be Philodromidae or Thomisidae.  |

And as its prey: Rhingia campestris [still unknown for Portugal, Jorge!  ] |

Hello! jorgemotalmeida wrote: i think that this is not Diaea.. with this photo it can be Philodromidae or Thomisidae. Looks like a Philodromus dispar female with its broad, white lateral band.

Philodromus is a good choice! P. dispar I don?t know that species. We have 18 Philodromus known for Portugal. |

In my books P. dispar is described as "rather rare" here in Germany, but in the last two or three years it has become very frequent, also in our garden and at toolshed and house. Has outrun the "trivial" P. cespitum by far. Larger pic of another female: http://insektenfo...ntid=15015 And a male: http://insektenfo...ntid=13795 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [35.5Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 03-09-2007 23:07 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Juergen and Jorge, Again thanks for leading me to Philodromus dispar. After reviewing other pics of this species I'm for about 99% convinced it ?s P.dispar. In Germany maybe a rare species, but in the Netherlands quite common (so I read). There are colourvariations known for this spider and the one in my picture could well be a young female. It never crossed my mind to look into the Phildromus-species, let alone P.dispar 'cos the Dutch name for P.dispar is Black running spider. Looking at my picture "black" is not what comes to mind! Cheers! 
Best regards, Iolaire |
