[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 197397, member: 33994"] the best way is by examining the underside markings. im very familiar with schizocosa so i can generally ID them from dorsal habitus alone. smaller size is also a good way- schizocosa- with the exception of the massive S. maxima (which reaches the same size as carolinensis), are generally no larger than 2" in legspan, and the females often have very similar abdominal markings. carapace shape is another good way to tell them apart- in schizocosa the cephalothorax appears to be flush with the caput (eye-turret), whereas in hogna, the cephalothorax bulges more behind the caput, having a disc-like shape.
