Thanatus striatus (C.L. Koch, 1845) 
Most common on dry heathlands and grassy sites across southern and south-eastern counties of England, becoming considerably less common further north. Nottinghamshire and north Lincolnshire more or less mark the most northerly limit of its UK range, with all Nottinghamshire records we know of, coming from heathland sites within the Sherwood Forest area, including both Clumber Park (Pendleton, T.A.) and Rainworth Heath SSSI (Williams, H.).
