spinnerets like venter ; dorsum dark brownish-yellow ; a black 

 spear-shaped outline on front part and some cross lines behind this ; 

 some small dark spots on rest of dorsum ; eyes as usual. 

 Occasional in fields near Indian Spring. 



Cephalothorax red-brown ; eye-region blackish 

 stripe, widest in front and gradually tapering toward the hind 

 mai'gin ; a light stripe each side somewhat above the margin, occa- 

 sionally indistinct ; mandibles darker red-brown ; mouth-parts red- 

 brown, lighter at tips ; sternum red-brown ; legs and palpi a little 

 lighter, sometimes with very indistinct darker spots or rings; abdo- 

 men above and below red-brown like sternum ; epigynum sur- 

 rounded by jet black hairs; no definite plan of markings, only a 

 few scattered small darker spots on dorsum which are often indis- 

 tinct ; abdomen covered with yellow-brown hairs. First row of 

 eyes not quite as wide as second ; dorsal eyes farther from each other 

 than are the second row of eyes, and much closer to them than to 

 each other; the epigynum is much like that of Trochosa avara, but 

 the species is much larger and no sign of spots on the venter and 

 scarcely a trace of them on dorsum ; it is difierent from what I have 

 called T. avara.
