Identification
Ventrals & dorsals based on our current understanding of these:
Hogna antelucana
Hogna baltimoriana - Sternum might be black (coxae not black). Venter black only posterior to the epigastric furrow. Patellae are black underneath. Femurs I & II have black line retrolaterally.
(1) Coxae & patellae dark ventrally, venter black posterior to the genital groove. Carapace lacks median and submarginal bands.
(2)
Hogna carolinensis - Carapace usually without distinct markings, sternum, coxae & venter all black.
(1) Sternum usually black, sometimes dark reddish.
(2)
Hogna coloradensis -
Hogna coloradensis - PDF from The Journal of Arachnology - An 8 page paper with drawings, descriptions, and range. "
Hogna coloradensis 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."
Hogna frondicola - Venter suffused with black. Sternum orange or reddish brown, suffused with black. Coxae suffused with black. Venter may have less black in females
(2)
Hogna lenta - Sternum & coxae are brown to black. Venter behind the epigastric furrow is black, as is the middle of the epigastrium. Underside of the legs are unmarked.
(1)
Hogna wallacei - This species might be a melanic form of Tigrosa georgicola. Further study is needed to determine if they are the same species.
(3)
Figure and description in Chamberlin & Ivie, 1944 are indicative of Tigrosa.
