Type ¢, gynetype 9, in coll. Peckham. Total length, g¢ 10, 2 13 millim. 
Dried example, g. Carapace black, entirely margined, except behind, with a broad white band. Cephalic 
area clothed in the centre with golden-grey hairs, with a triangular rounded patch of white hairs behind 
and between the anterior central eyes. Thoracic area with a broad, elongate, diamond-shaped patch 
down the centre, finely attenuate towards the posterior margin. Abdomen black in front, orange- 
rust-red dorsally, surrounded by a dull black ground-tint, margined in front by a broad white band, 
extending halfway along the side, followed by a single white spot in the apical third, whose anterior half 
is flanked by a brownish elongate spot on each side; a single broad, central, longitudinal, dorsal 
white band runs from the anterior third of the spinners, being usually scalloped slightly in the posterior 
half; spinners brown, posterior pair black, with white hairs above; ventral area grey, spotted with 
black, clothed with grey hairs. Legs i. and ii. uniform red-brown, more or less clothed with white hairs ; 
iii. and iv. paler, the femora with a central white and basal and apical black patches ; tibize and protarsi 
of all four pairs more or less suffused with brown at the apex. Palpi brown; femur and patella thickly 
clothed with white hairs. The colour slightly varies, the lateral band often being broken to form a 
second spot. Femora i. and ii. are often clothed with white hairs on the apical half or third 
above. Sometimes the diamond-shaped band unites laterally with the lateral bands towards the posterior 
margin. The legs i. and il. are also often black. 
The female is coloured similarly to the male, but the lateral subapical spots on the abdomen are more 
isolated, the anterior marginal band being usually less pronounced. Legs i. and ii. deep purple-brown, 
the protarsi and tarsi paler, the femora with a broad pale annulation in the middle; iii. and iv. paler, 
annulate throughout with black. The white hairs tend to a yellowish tint, and the palpi are pale yellow 
with brown annulations, The femur, patella, and tibia tipped above with yellow-white hairs. The 
central abdominal band and lateral spots are more conspicuously cinctured with black than in the male ; 
the carapace has not, however, the conspicuous white patches of that sex. The thoracic region has a
