The Cover. Male wolf spider Pardosa xerampelina (Keyserling) (Araneae: Lycosidae). Pardosa xerampelina (Keyserling) is a common, litterdwelling Nearctic spider found from Alaska to Newfoundland and south to Oregon, New Mexico, and West Virginia. Individuals have been collected from April to October in short grass, along streams, lakeshores, cultivated fields, and in open deciduous forests. Like all wolf spiders, the females of this species carry an egg sac attached to their spinnerets, which eventually hatches into a swarming bundle of spiderlings.
