This looks quite large

which is why we were thinking Tengellidae

… john and jane balaban, 12 March, 2010 - 8:21pm

I wonder...

...how big is "wolf spider size", though?

… Mandy Howe, 13 March, 2010 - 11:22am

not Tengellidae

I don't think it's Tengellidae. Mainly because this spider has chevron markings on the abdomen. I've never seen a Tengellidae with anything but a heart mark.

Cicurina sp. maybe

I have a feeling we'll never be able to ID this one accurately without genitalia photos, but for what it's worth I think it looks like a Cicurina of the dictynidae family. Unfortunately there are WELL over a hundred species in that genus and Bug Guide currently barely has five of those...and Cicurina is properly nicknamed the genus from Hell, lol. There's my two cents. :)

Cicurina

does seem like a good possibility.

… Lynette Elliott, 1 January, 2010 - 12:00pm

definately looks like a lycos

definately looks like a lycosid. also a male. prob Hogna sp.

… Omar Fahmy, 26 December, 2005 - 11:42am

where did i pull that one out from?

seriously i have no idea on what basis i said lycosid. cant even remeber saying such a stupid comment. this is not a Hogna for sure and not a Lycosid for sure. i think it is a Filistid

… Omar Fahmy, 6 April, 2006 - 8:55pm

We don't see those Lycosid eyes

back atop the cephalothorax. Doesn't seem like wolf spider at all. Reminds us of the Filistatid/not Filistatid discussion on

… john and jane balaban, 30 December, 2005 - 10:43am

Really?

I don't think I've ever seen a wolf spider with that round a carapace. At first I thought it was a mygalomorph (trapdoor spider-ish), but it is not. I have no other suspects in mind.

… Eric R. Eaton, 27 December, 2005 - 2:25pm

Definitely looks like a wolf spider but,

it has that strange "shine" to it that I've never seen on a wolf spider before. Is it possible this could be a sac spider? See

… Lynette Elliott, 27 December, 2005 - 6:30am

If this helps...

I found it on the outside of a talus cave a few days ago.

what is

What is "sp."?

Glossary

There are the beginnings of a glossary found here.

… Lynette Elliott, 27 December, 2005 - 6:27am

sp.

An abbreviation for species (singular). The plural is spelled exactly the same, but its abbreviation is spp. When someone says Xyz sp., that usually means that they're referrring to a single species, but don't know specifically which species in the genus it is. If they say Xyz spp., they're referring to more than one species.
