The third one almost looks like a Burrowing Wolf Spider(Geolycosa missouriensis), but I don't think the reigion is even close to being right..
The fourth looks a lot like a young Green Lynx (Peucetia viridans), but, yet again, I'm not 100% sure.
I wish I could be of more help -_-

Both of those guesses are wrong I think :(

I'm pretty sure the first 3 are from the family Ctenidae. Second one looks just like a Cupiennius coccineus, but I can't really tell on the other two. First one could be an Ancylometes sp.

Number four really resembles a P. viridans, but I can't see any "spikes" on its legs. Can't tell what it is though.

Last one looks like a huntsman. Heteropoda sp.?

Number 4, possibly a Philodromid?

would say so too. Maybe also the last one. First two Ctenidae, 2nd definetly Cupiennius.

Yeah, definately not a green lynx :|
I was thinking the young didn't have spikes.. but they at least have leg discolorations..
I guess I'll have to read more ^.^

Uhh...I would highly doubt they are Lycosids. I would put money on them being Ctenids, aka wandering spiders.
