This very abundant species is in all probability the Attus chrysis of Walckenaer. It 
is very likely also identical with Plexippus aureus and P. seladonicus, C. L. Koch, and 
Attus iris, Walck. (Ins. Apt. i. p. 455); the type of the latter is figured in Abbot’s 
Georgian Spiders (fig. 415).

Phidippus disjunctus, Banks, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. (3) 1. p. 281, t. 17. fig. 21 (2) °. 
Type, 2, in coll. Calif. Acad. Sciences, San Francisco, Total length 13°5 millim. 
Carapace black, clothed with golden-brown pubescence, becoming intermingled with white laterally, but 
without any definite white bands. Abdomen dorsally clothed almost entirely with pink and green 
iridescent scales, becoming golden-brown in certain lights; the dorsal area with four large brown or 
black spots, which are devoid of scales on each side, and a central iridescent dorsal band, having five 
small white spots on each side, the apical ones becoming more transverse ; anteriorly margined with 
white and with a larger and a smaller white spot on each side; sides clothed with grey scales; ventral 
area with a broad dark central band. Legs red-brown, clothed with grey-white scales and long white 
hairs ; the apex of the patella and tibia of all four pairs is black; the femur, patella, and tibia i. with a 
lower fringe of curling black hairs, those beneath the protarsi white. Eyes and general structure as in 
other species of the genus. For the vulva, see the Plate. 
Hab. Mexico, Tepic (fide Banks’), Teapa (H. H. Smith). 
Distinguishable from P. chrysis by the broad black band down the centre of the ventral 
area, and from P. marmoratus by the metallic scales on the carapace and abdomen. 
6. Paraphidippus marmoratus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVI. figg. 4, 4a-d, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin, Total length 8-13 millim. 
Carapace red-brown, clothed with hoary-white hairs, also with more scattered black hairs. Abdomen varying 
in colour from rich chocolate to pale brown, with a broad white band encircling the anterior marginal 
half of the dorsal area, followed by a large white spot and another at the spinners on each side, the latter 
often joined over the spinners dorsally with an oblique branch extending upward and forward; these 
spots are very variable in size, shape, and colour, being often primrose-yellow or orange; the central 
dorsal area bears three pairs of elongate spots, the anterior pair smaller and often coalescing with the 
second pair, while just above the spinners are two pairs of “\-shaped pale white spots ; all the dorsal 
spots are margined with darker brown than the ground-colour of the dorsal area; ventral area entirely 
clothed with white hairs and scales, blending laterally with the marginal band and spots, with a broad 
central brown band entirely devoid of white scales, the band varying in colour from pale brown to 
chocolate-black. Palpi pale yellow, clothed with white scales and fringed with long pure white hairs. 
Mandibles and legs red-brown, clothed with white scales above and hairs beneath, more dense under 
tibia i. and at its apex beneath mingled with black hairs, the apex of tibia i. also black; femora, 
patella, tibie, and protarsi iii, and iv. dark at the apex (more easily observed in specimens immersed in 
alcohol). Sternum and cox red-brown, not clothed with white hairs. Protarsus iv. with a spine on the 
outer side towards the base, but in some examples this is absent. The carapace and abdomen are entirely 
devoid of iridescent scales. 
Ilab. Costa Rica (Rogers).
