hi other insektforum,

Last weekend I found some little spiders on heatland, on the top of a fence.
likely it are Hahniidae sp.
Is someone familair with these family?
What kind of specie is this?
Obvious are the posterior spinnerets.

size: ~ 5-6mm
place: Miggelenberg - Veluwe (centre of Holland), place with sand and heath.

if the spinnerets are in the same plane, hence we have hahniidae spider. but general habitus points to the Hahniidae.

I would guess Hahnia sp from the general look of it, but I have seen only a couple of species of this genus, and those in alcohol (which tends to alter the colour somewhat).
