Wolf Spider ID Request

[padkison]

I find these Wolf Spiders in the forests of the SE US. They perch on tree trunks or lurk on the leaf litter.

Picture is not so great, camera is lacking. The ventral abdomen and thorax are black. Legspan is about 1.5".

That actually looks like one of my few fishing spiders. It was Dolemetres (?) something ro other. I don't have the name here at work, but it may be what you have. Mine look an awful lot like that, and one was almost as fat before leaving my bench crawling with little ones. Congrats.
