Moved

Moved from Barronopsis. This species is the only one known to occur in your area (North Carolina), and it looks exactly like this, too. I'm going to go ahead and move them. A beautiful set to begin a new species page with! I can't tell whether it's an adult or not, sorry, but that size range is for sure within the limits of a full grown female. Would have to see the epigyne area to tell for sure.

Thank you, Mandy!

This is the second spider guide page started with my photos.
The other was Mastophora tumuqua, the first thing I ever posted on
BG. I'm so glad there are experts on this website, and glad
there are arachnophiles. I enjoyed reading your profile.

No problem!

And I still remember your Mastophora tumuqua! That was exciting to get such a rarely encountered species into the Guide! :-)

Agelenidae

Family is definitely correct. It could be Barronopsis, but I'm not sure at this point how to rule out Agelenopsis without the genitalia.

ID... Sort of

Its an adult funnel weaver (Agelenidae), but I'm not sure of the exact species.
