Neriene montana (syn. Linyphia montana) is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae.Jones, Dick (1989) A Guide to Spiders of Britain and Northern Europe (revised edition), Hamlyn, , p. 292 With a holarctic distribution, it is found throughout northern Europe.Roberts, Michael J. (1996) Collins Field Guide - Spiders of Britain and Northern Europe, Collins, , p. 366
The body length excluding legs is about 4 to 7 mm in both sexes, males having a slimmer abdomen. The carapace is dark brown with a darker midline and margins.Savory, Theodore (1945) The Spiders & Allied Orders of the British Isles, Warne, p. 112 The abdomen is marked with a broad brown folium with pale speckles and small indentations, surrounded by a pale area. The legs are yellow-brown with many annulations which, along with its size, help to distinguish N. montana from similar species. It builds a hammock-shaped web among bushes or low vegetation, on tree trunks, or under logs, which it rests beneath.
