Genus Tigrosa

Wolf spiders split out of Hogna in 2012, and the split is the reason to read this page rather than anything about the animals.

T. helluo and T. georgicola are large North American hunting spiders with the same biology as their former genus mates: no web, nocturnal pursuit hunting, and the maternal behavior of carrying spiderlings on the abdomen.

Because the split is relatively recent and these are wild-caught animals that nobody researches before listing, a large share of the relevant stock still sells as Hogna. That mislabeling has no price consequence worth exploiting here, since both genera sit in the same band, but it does mean a search on one name will miss half the market.
