Tigrosa helluo is a species of spider in the family Lycosidae. It was formerly known as Hogna helluo. It is found in the Canada, the United States and Mexico.[1]
The carapace of T. helluo is characterized by a clearly defined medial stripe from a point between the middle pair of eyes nearly to the point at which the carapace joins the abdomen. The abdomen has a broader light stripe with a darker narrow and tapering form like the head of a lance or a stone arrow point. The underside of the cephalothorax is solid black, but the underside of the abdomen may be spotted with lighter colored patches. This species does not dig tunnels but may create shelters under rocks and similar natural features.
