Herpyllus propinquus
Black spider with subtle stripe on abdomen.
Outside wall in backyard at night.
"The common name refers to the white dorsal stripe on the abdomen, which resembles a cravat worn by a parson or minister during the 1800's (Guarisco, 2007)."
J, you're so good! I didn't see the subtle markings on the abdomen. Thank you again!
