Thanks
for cleaning up my mess. I really should just stay out of the wolf spiders... they just confuse the heck out of me. =]

I thought coloradensis too, but
then I looked a little more closely. Chelicerae, sternum, and coxae dark brown on coloradensis, and on the image above they are grey or at least heavily covered in whitish hairs? Also, see how the dark area immediately anterior to the epigastric furrow as well as a small dark area just anterior to the spinnerets looks on this image:



There is just enough difference on the image above to make me rethink that prior ID. Also, Jeff certainly has more experience with H. carolinensis and for all I know he may have ID'd this by the palps.

Jeff?

Hi Jeff,
We found out a new reference here: Drawing on Slowik & Cushing (2007), They write that the species "can be separated from all other Hogna and Lycosidae by a dark area immediately anterior to the epigastric furrow as well as a small dark area just anterior to the spinnerets; the rest of the venter is light with spots.
