Hey Raf;

I doubt this one is adult. Gnaphosidae belong to the RTA-clade and females should therefor have some hardened edge around/at the epigyne where the male retrolateral tibial apophysis can attach, I think.
As I can't see any structures like that, I'd assume the specimen is subadult.

Greetings,
Clemens
