Looks like Venonia to me, however I'm not very familiar with this genus. @EmmaCollins @YumiCallaway thoughts?

This is obviously a very late comment (we're going through old records as part of a NatureMapr clean-up this week)!
But with Lycosidae, the pattern can be a bit misleading. Some genera do have obvious patterns that distinguish them, but others may appear to be one thing but are actually something else. I agree that this is a Tasmanicosa sp. but to get to a species level, it's often necessary to view the genitalia under a microscope.
