Looks like Nuliodon fishburni. See page 190 in Whyte and Anderson. I think sighting 4233910 might also be this species.

It certainly looks right both in the book and on ALA Cath. I'm new to moderating and on a steep learning curve so because I'm not sure, hope a more experienced eye can confirm it :)

Thanks Cath looks like correct ID will add when I am able to

As with most tricky spider group separations, in this case Lycosids from Miturgids, the eye arrangement/size/pattern/grouping is critical. In this case Cath has taken some great shots that have captured this. I too concur with the ID :)
