Summary description from Wikipedia:

Drassyllus aprilinus

Drassyllus aprilinus is a species of ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae. It is found in the eastern United States and Mexico. While females do have a distinct patterning on the abdomen, both males and females are best identified through collecting specimens and inspecting their genitalia. Like many other members of its family, it is found near to the ground, often under leaf litter or stones. It is most strongly associated with forested habitats, where it has been found in oak-hickory, pine, sand-pine, and beech-magnolia forests, as well as pecan and citrus groves. Adult males and females are present throughout the year.
