Wolf spider - Hesperocosa unica - female

Wolf spider - Hesperocosa unica - Female
Yoakum Dunes Wildlife Management Area, Cochran County, Texas, USA
September 2, 2017
Caught in a pitfall trap in a mesquite habitat sometime between 2 September and 10 September 2017. Identified to species with SONA 2nd edition.

This individual seems to match the species description in Gertsch & Wallace 1935 reasonably well, though they referred to it as Schizocosa unica.

Of note from this angle is the black eye region, compared to the brown coloration of the carapace.
