    Sorry, ran out of time to investigate further. Not sure if this is in S. America but it's a start. Nasty bites these sac spiders!!!     Posted 8 years ago

      Not just a start, visually your suggestion seems like an exact match, or at least extremely similar. Thanks!
      As you say, distribution seems the missing piece of the puzzle. I checked a lot of sources and they are quite consistent in documenting Trachelas tranquillus as an eastern US/Canada species. I feel we're very close.       Posted 8 years ago

        It would appear that T. traquillus is indeed restricted to E. US and Canada.
        I did find this very interesting site which shows there are 2 species of Trachelas in Colombia, unfortunately no pictures and I can't seem to find any on Google either.

          Looks like we're getting into obscure territory! Thanks for researching this so deeply. Unfortunately, I can't find any reference images either of those two species. Posted 8 years ago
