Quick edit to add that this spider is notable for being featured on the cover of the original "Golden Guide" to spiders and their kin written in the 1960s by the well-known arachnologist Herbert Levi.

That's on my bookshelf - handed down through my family for generations. Cool to see a photo of one of the cover models!
