Tigrosa aspersa is a large (up to one-inch (25 mm) body length) wolf spider that inhabits the eastern United States .[1] Compared to its close relative Tigrosa helluo, T. aspersa is much larger. This species was known as Hogna aspersa prior to 2012, when it was moved to Tigrosa.[2]

A different species (Lycosa implacida) was named Lycosa aspersa in 1849 by Nicolet by accident.
