I wonder if it might be a Pisauridae, instead of Lycosidae? The bottom row of eyes looks like it has an upward curve to it (Pisauridae), as opposed to a downward arc for those eyes in Lycosidae; and the posterior lateral eyes look to be further forward than the same eyes in Lycosids. It's hard to tell from the picture (the first seems to be the clearest), but that'd be my best guess.

How about some closeups of the eyes that show their arrangement?
