Well if you want a list of all the species in Arizona....I don't thnk anyone here has one lol. I'm sure there are TONS of species out there.

As for your spider, it sounds like a Phidippus audax like everyone else here has said. They are gargantuan jumpers(as far as jumpers go...) and very common throughout the US.

I just found 4 females while ripping bark off dead trees! First time I've ever seen em on my campus. They're awesome animals!
