Tigrosa - Tigrosa grandis - Male
Gillette, Campbell County, Wyoming, USA
August 18, 2015
Size: 3" in diameter
At first I thought Hogna, but the thin median strip between the PME's and the ventral is making me think Tigrosa, possibly T. helluo or T.grandis I would like to get confirmation

that's always a possibilty as well
helluo and grandis are the only Tigrosa in Wyoming? Looks like it has another molt left before fully mature. Get the palps under a microscope to confirm

I think...
...I do somewhat see the embolus in the pictures within the palps. Therefore, I believe this is probably already an adult.
