Hogna 'incognita'
Hogna 'incognita' is a formally undescribed species found primarily in parts of Texas and Oklahoma. It's similar to Hogna antelucana and baltimoriana, and has been found co-mingled with those species in Texas and Oklahoma respectively. Entire known range based on iNat observations extends from a little southwest of San Antonio, TX, to the north, northeast, and then east to Memphis, TN. It appears to be best adapted to clay soils like Texas blackland and may be less active in colder temperatures than the two similar species.
