I found this spider today hiding under a thresh hold. Is it some type of wolf spider?

This doesn't seem to have Lycosid eyes
maybe instead a Gnaphosid?

 
not a Ground Spider
I'm glad you pointed that image out. I don't think either of these are ground spiders. I've moved my image out of that family. I guess I'd say Hacklemesh Weavers (Amaurobiidae) with Richard.

Perhaps a Geolycosa missourie
Perhaps a Geolycosa missouriensis?

Identification
This one is not a wolf spider. I'm not seeing enough to be sure what it might be however. The eye pattern is wrong. It might be an amaurobiid (Hacklemesh weaver) or cybaeid. Tough to tell without a close look at the eyes, spinnerets, etc.
