Dolomedes? - Pisaurina mira - Female
Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee, USA
July 10, 2009
Size: body 18mm
I think this is one of the fishing spiders, maybe one of the many color variations of the Six-spotted, not showing any white lines at all along the sides. It was hunting under the lights on the back of my house.

Showing eye arrangement.

Dolomedes
I think you have the genus correct. I'm not sure about it being triton.
