Thanks, Laura!
I'm happy to have this moved even this far! I thought when I caught it that with the arrowhead on its underside it would be a breeze - but I'm discovering that Wolf Spiders are not so easily discerned!

 
Yeah,
I think this one may be easy to ID to species for someone already familiar with it, I haven't spent much time looking at Schizocosas yet. If in the meantime no one else decides to sort through these I'll eventually try to revisit them. I've just been trudging through all the stuff that has been languishing at family level in Lycosidae and moving things up where I can. There's some neat ones that have been forgotten about in there. When I'm done I'll probably re-review what's filed at genus level, I'll likely start off with an easier genus that doesn't have a lot of species it though. :)
