Micrommata virescens
Found it early in the morning by the outside stairs, it was missing a leg and didn't move at all. Quite big, around 2-3 cm (legs included).

Coupled with the body shape, I'd say it's certainly a Philodromid.
However, I'm not someone who can go any deeper than family level. We're talking Romanian spiders here. I haven't got a clue, ha ha.
Hm, that must be it. Eye arrangement definitely matches. Thanks!
And yes, I asked about the superfamily to know where to look.
Eye arrangement strongly suggests that this is a Philodromid crab spider. I can't say for certain though. I'm not a Romanian spider junkie!
Lycosoidea is a superfamily containing many families, including Lycosidae. I assume that's what you meant?
I must be wrong then, I'm not very good with spiders. But at least, is it Lycosoidea?
There might be, but this is not a wolf spider. Eye arrangement is completely wrong for a wolf spider.
How unusual - I didn't know there are green wolf spiders.
