Wolf Spider (Lycosidae),
Kempner, TX: 120508 pg 4
  This
female wolf spider displays a
distinctive epigynum (photo at far right), and a pedipalp (photo at
immed. right) with an unremarkable distal segment (a male would display
a swollen segment distally). The epigynum has a long, slender, but
unexcavated median septum (the longitudinal ridge in the middle of the
epigynum, the thickness of which is roughly the same along its length,
without scallops) that is flanked on each side by well-defined atria.
This is characteristic of several genre of wolf spiders, including, in
particular, Trochosa and Hogna.
