HOGNA SPECIES - Hogna antelucana

HOGNA SPECIES - Hogna antelucana
Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, USA
July 22, 2012
Size: Approx. 2 inches LEGSPAN
I captured 3 sub-adult wolf spiders inside my apartment. All 3 spiders are the same species since they basically look the same. At first I thought they were Hogna carolinensis, but the coloration and the markings aren't quite right (Although H. carolinensis DOES occur here!). For one thing, this giant species usually has orangish chelicerae and my spiders don't. The markings on their cephalothoraxes don't look quite right to be H. carolinensis neither. All I know is my wolf spiders are in the genus Hogna. I'm not sure of the species though. I really need a positive ID. Can you wonderful folks please let me know which species I have? Thanks a million! :) I will post images of all 3 specimens in one set since they are the same species anyway (Plus, after shooting the pics, I don't know which pic belongs to which spider since they all look the same!). Anyway, I just want this species identified.

*MODERATORS: Please feel free to get rid of some images in this set if you think there are too many.*
