Spiders with BIG palps

Forums:

Identification help

I beat some tiny (2 - 3mm) long immature male spiders yesterday from the box hedge outside my window. They have HUGE palps, each being nealy as big as the cephalothorax. What spiders have such huge palps? I can't see anything remotely like it in Roberts, I don't think it's a money spider but any tips appreciated.
