Classroom Spider - Hogna
Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama, USA
August 8, 2014
Size: 1 in
My class has been finding lots of these guys in the school lately. I assume it is a type of wolf spider but am not sure. They are usually against the wall on the ground or in dark spots.

We've been filing these ...
as Hogna anteulcana but I'm not sure that's what they are. Some of the other H. antelucana we have have a fuller median carapace stripe that looks different from these ones so I've been wondering if there might be two species filed there. The fuller stripe occurs throughout the range and the tapered one so far seems to be eastern. There's another Hogna listed for the area, H. timuqua but I don't know enough about it to say whether or not that could be it.
