Close to the other spider I also saw this lovely female in Panama. Since it carries its young on the back I figured it would belong to the Lycosidae family. If anyone have a good guess on the species it would be appreciated.
Trechalea! (species unknown, probably not T gertschi)
Trechaleidae are strange lycosoids that behave like a mixture of Lycosidae, Sparassidae, and Pisauridae. Unlike Pisauridae and sparassidae, they carry their eggsacs like wolf spiders. They are only found around water, and their main prey items are generally amphibian larvae or small fishes
