Identity?
Tom, Jeff Hollenbeck feels these are not Pardosa, but he isn't certain in which genus to place them. Any thoughts for him on that?

Let Jeff make the call!
Eye arrangement appears to be similar to Pardosa but the spiders are fairly large for the genus. I was thinking Arctosa just as well as that genus tends to match the background on which they are found. Perhaps I should not attach any genus to certain specimens unless I'm certain...I plead guily!
