Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 You have a male Wolf Spider (Lycosidae). I’m not familiar with the species in your region but a quick search resulted in one like yours IDed as Lycosa erythrognatha, I’m not 100% certain of the ID to species but the genus at least seems a good possibility.

The Wolf Spider was my best guess prior to submitting the photos. As for what spiders are native here, I’m not sure as I’ve only been in Ecuador a few months. I’m not overly afraid of spiders as I grew up in Virginia and encountered a few Black Widows around the house.

As for spiders here, the ones that concern me are the Brazilian Wandering (very rare in this part due to the elevation) and the Chilean Recluse, the latter of which is more common.

Thanks for the tip.
