284 ARANEIDEA. 
band of sulphur-yellow hairs, the bands coalescent in front, narrowing behind, and almost united in the 
centre by the normal triangular patch, which is, in this case, yellow, extending almost to the spinners ; 
there is also a paler whitish anterior marginal band extending scarcely one-third along the sides, 
coalescing with the yellow band in front; sides deep olive-brown, becoming streaked with white hairs 
below, longitudinally ; ventral area black, with six or seven tufts of white hair extending transversely 
inwards; the anterior portion of the white lateral streaks bears some bright metallic-orange scales. 
Mandibles blue and green, metallic, with yellow hairs at the base above. Palpi red-brown ; patella, 
tibia, and tarsus clothed with bright yellow scales above. Leg i. pale red-brown, clothed (except the 
femur) with yellow scales and fine black hairs above, and with very long yellow hairs beneath, especially 
on the tibia; femur i. clothed with bright yellow hairs beneath, with a spot of white scales at the apex 
above, some yellow, brown, and white scales dorsally, and a long pencil of black hairs springing from the 
base of the dorsal ridge and curving over from behind forwards. Leg ii. as in i., but without the femoral 
black pencil. Legs iii. and iv. pale red-brown, with whitish scales and fine black hairs above. Sternum, 
coxe, and underside of legs iii. and iv. with shaggy white hairs. 
9. Carapace white in front, dull yellow at the sides, purple-brown above, with three transverse indistinct 
bands of dull yellow scales in the cephalic quadrangle. Abdomen similar to that of the male, but with 
the two central yellow lines which unite to form a triangular spot more conspicuous, but not meeting 
behind, with a pair of very small yellow spots between it and the spinners; sides and lower surface 
entirely clothed with dull white pubescence. Legs pale red-brown, i. and ii. clothed with yellow, iu. and 
iv. with yellow-white hairs. Mandibles metallic green, clothed with yellow hairs at the base. Palpi 
fringed with long yellow hairs. 
Carapace of male tuberculate. Posterior eyes in both sexes set on strong tubercles ; cephalic quadrangle much 
wider behind; central posterior eyes two-thirds of a diameter remote from the lateral posteriors. 
Palpus of the male with the bulb bilobate, as usual; apical spine broad at the base transversely on the outer 
side, sinuous and very fine; tibial spur short, slightly curving downward. Mandibles normal, with one 
lower and two upper teeth. 
Vulva of the female with a A-shaped notch behind and two reniform adjacent convergent cavities in front, 
remote from the posterior margin.

This species would appear to be closely allied to P. tuberculatus; but Peckham 
makes no mention of any cephalic tubercles, merely remarking “cephalic part with 
sides very widely rounded,” nor does he mention any pencil of hairs on femur i. The 
figure of the palpus is taken from his work. 
6. Phidippus cruentus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 4, 4a, 2.) 
Type, 2, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 13 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalisco (Hége). 
For a description of this species and its characteristic features, see the synoptical 
Table. ‘lhe general dull crimson tint of the abdomen should enable it to be recognized.
