Troy,

Looks like P. variegata - male ( gnaphosid ) did you really not know what this was?

I really didn't
I wanted to say Gnaphosid, but the absence of prominent spinnerets made me secondguess that. Is the absence indicative of a male?

that is correct
The spinnerets of male spiders are not prominent. This definitely a male spider.
