Tigrosa aspersa is a large (up to one inch body length) wolf spider that inhabits the eastern United States.[1] This species was known as Hogna aspersa prior to 2012, when the species was moved to Tigrosa.[2]
A different species (Lycosa implacida) was named Lycosa aspersa in 1849 by Nicolet by accident.
