Large brown Spider...Hogna? - Tigrosa helluo

Large brown Spider...Hogna? - Tigrosa helluo
Clay County, Missouri, USA
March 23, 2012
Found this huge spider stuck in my laundry bucket in the basement. Thinking maybe Hogna Helluo because of the stripe. Any confirmation or guess on sex?

Moved
Moved from Hogna.
Some species of Hogna were moved to a new genus, Tigrosa.

Wolf Spider
Female. It could be H. helluo, but I don't know how to be sure.

Thank you! I was thinking Female because
of size and palps but I was not certain. I don't know how you tell the difference between some of these Wolf spiders, but because of the stripe I thought Helluo was a possibility. Again, thanks so much!
