Top spider = Herpyllus ecclesiasticus. Bottom spider = Callobius sp.

Second one is a gnaphosid, not a callobius.

probably either sostichus or haplodrassus.

Nope and double-nope. The legs are too long for a Gnaphosid. It's an Amaurobiidae.

And that is what species??

Perhaps I should have said that the OP's spider has legs too long to be a Haplodrassus.

No idea but it is a Gnaphosidae nonetheless. I was just referring to you "legs too long comment for it to be a Gnaphosid"

Your herpyllus is actually H. propinquus

As for the second, i have no idea, honestly, other than a gnaphosid. it does bear a similarity to scopoides, though.

Yeah that's definitely a gnaph, my Drassodes lapidosus has legs equally long, It's the spinnerets you should be paying attention to
