Similar to wolf spiders but are generally smaller and have a very different eye arrangement. Possibly Miturga sp.

I am not a spider expert, but Wolf Spiders do carry their babies on their backs and in this case the babies are obscuring the markings on the spider. Here are a couple of references for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider http://www.knowledgebank.irri.org/ipm/spiders/wolf-spider/scientific-name-pardosa-pseudoannulata-boesenberg-a-strand.html
