Hogna

Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.



Etymology
The word Hogna might be a rough latinization of one of the Greek words ὄχνη (ókhnē) "pear" or ὄγχνη (ónkhnē) "pear-tree".

Species
Hogna carolinensis is among the largest spiders found in the United States; females may have a body length of from 22 mm to 35 mm. The carapace of H. carolinensis is characterized by an overall dark brown coloration, usually without any patterned variations. Its abdomen has a slightly darker stripe down its center, and its ventral side is black. This spider typically dwells in a vertical tube dug into the ground that may reach as deep as eight inches.
