Wolf Spider - Tigrosa aspersa - female

Wolf Spider - Tigrosa aspersa - Female
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue , Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA
September 19, 2008
Size: approx. 1" body
This large spider appeared black in the late evening light to the naked eye, but the photographs revealed more of a chocolate color with lighter brown markings on the legs. We've looked in the Guide and couldn't find anything that looks like it. Thanks for any help.

Hogna sp.
This wolf spider does indeed belong to the Genus Hogna.

I think
That is likely a Hogna species. Maybe helluo. I shot a dark lycosid today which I will post in a bit. May be similar.
