September 27, 2006, Side, flat grassland with old Olea europaea.
Pretty big (cephalothorax+abdomen size exceeded 10mm). I made her leave a tunnel under a stone.
Lycosidae, but which genus? (I failed to find out).

I would say Lycosa sp. The shape of prosoma (cephalotorax) reminds me a Lycosa as the opisthosoma shape.
It has some similarities with this my Lycosa fasciiventris:
