Yes, that was the size including legs..I guess it would be bigger all stretched out but about the size of a toonie as seen.

I would place it in Antrodiae
I would place it in Antrodiaetidae. I base this on the presence of tergites, elevated wide pars cephalica, and the appearance of the thoracic groove. Can I assume that the size mentioned included the legs and doesn't refer to the body only?

Definitely Antrodiaetus
Moving to Antrodiaetus for now; hopefully Brent Hendrixson will be by to help ID our Mygalomorphs soon. My guess would be... pacificus.
