Found a little wolf spider

[Stylopidae]

I think this year will be a good year for buggin up here in the midwest. So far, I've found a soil centipede, a wolly bear catterpillar and a wolf spider. The latter two came to me .

Anyways, I'd love to identify my little lycosid (maybe) friend. What are some identifying characteristics?

Posting a pic is out of the question until school's over.

You can look through the pictures on Bugguide.net. The Taxonomy tab allows you to narrow it down to species.

This site helped me identify many wolf spiders to genus anyway.
