Enoplognatha latimana (Hippa & Oksala, 1982)
Being visually identical to Enoplognatha ovata and with several similar colour forms, Enoplognatha latimana is probably under recorded to a certain degree. Known as being more of a coastal species, it does occur at dry, warm sites inland. In Nottinghamshire, it appears largely confined to heathland areas of Sherwood Forest, on the basis of the records we have access to.
