Not sure, but believe to be in family Dysderidae. Possibly a common one, Dysderidae crocata. Long jaws an adaption for hunting woodlice.(Spiders and Kin, Levi and Zim). And, nicely done.

Mind your toes with that Woodlouse spider, very nicely focused shots as usual.

Nice! I really like these things. Looks fearsome, but the long fangs are specialized for flipping woodlice/sowbugs.
