User's notes

Beautiful very dark wolf spider, found with burrow under log. Another specimen the same was found also in a burrow under a log only metres away.

This one's definitely a wolf spider (Lycosidae). Nuliodon fishburni have a very different eye arrangement, particularly of their PLE (posterior lateral eyes).
