Looks

Very good compared to some of the other T. aspersa. I appreciate your efforts.

You're welcome :)

I just noticed it was checked off as female, it should be a male if T. aspersa. I just switched it unless you're sure it was female. (I remember checking off the gender for one of these this morning, I don't think it was this one but if it was maybe I checked off the wrong gender by mistake.)

Maybe

H. antelucana? (Montgomery, 1904)AR, AZ, CA, FL, KY, MS, NM, SC, TX, UT. Except it doesn't mention that the venter is spotted.

In AR you have Hogna annexa, Hogna var. annexa, Hogna anteleucana, Hogna aspersa, Gladicosa avara, Hogna baltimoriana, Hogna carolinensis, Gladicosa gulosa, Hogna frondicola, Hogna helluo, Hogna lenta that I can confirm.

lenta

very similar to this specimen. http://bugguide.net/node/view/338839
I think this is Hogna lenta

H. lenta

I think lenta has a black venter from the epigastric furrow back. The specimen in the image above is spotted? (Or are those just the sides that are spotted?)

need better underside pic

There is no way of telling if the venter is dark from that pic. The spiders from my yard have a cluster of dark spots that give an overall black appearance to the underside of the abdomen, and yes, their sides have some scattered dark spots. http://bugguide.net/node/view/335558
I have never seen a female lenta. If I do, you bet I will be posting some pics and comparing notes to this specimen. As always, thanks for your input. Cheers

Coloring and carapace

is a perfect match to H. helluo. I'm not so sure on the abdomen which is a little light for what I've seen for this species. Sorry, just gettting started with these, and I'm having trouble :).

Wolf

I never could get any of the spider guys to comment on this beauty. Still no idea. I have helluo that come on the porch and they are all the much darker forms. I would be shocked if this was helluo. Appreciate you looking at it again.
