Mature Male Wolf Spider Found in Daughter's Room During Large Storm - Tigrosa helluo - male

Mature Male Wolf Spider Found in Daughter's Room During Large Storm - Tigrosa helluo - Male
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA
May 28, 2016
Size: .75" Body; 1.50" Legspan
Found this big guy (by most people's standards, but I own Tarantulas) in my daughter's bedroom during a large thunderstorm. Looks like Hogna to me; it's quite leggy and not as stout as most Tigrosa species. I own Hogna carolinensis as a pet and, aside from their shocking size difference, their body shape and lanky legs are almost identical (not referring to leg markings, but ARE similar on carapace and abdomen). I never got a good opportunity to see if the ventral side was jet black.

Is this a Hogna species?

Tigrosa annexa, maybe?
