little in front of the dorsal groove and then weakly narrowing to pos- 

 terior border where it ends trvmcately and is limited by a black tr. 

 verse marginal line; below the lateral dark bands the a 

 yellow with, a little above each margin a black line which may nut ex- 

 tend cephalad upon the pars cephalica, usually a row of small dark 

 dots below this line and in some a few similar dots above it; cl\ ; 

 marked below each anterior lateral eye with a trinagular black spot, 

 the two tending to be confluent across the middle; the median and 

 lateral light bands of the cephalothorax densely clothed in life with 

 bright white or grey hair, that of the median band extending over the 

 pars cephalica and down the face to the first eye row. Tegument of 

 the chelicerae reddish brown, a dusky stripe down the interior face 

 of each; clothed with light hair intermixed with darker bristles. En- 

 dites and labium yellow. Sternum and coxae of legs clear yellow, 

 clothed in life with white or light grey hair. Legs yellow, without dis- 

 tinct annuli excepting on the metatarsi of the fourth legs, each of which 

 bears a distinct black annulus at its distal end and less strongly 

 marked ones at middle and at proximal end, though in some there are 

 indications on femora of obscure annuli detectable under lens. Tegu- 

 ment of abdomen grey; black v-shaped stripe on anterior face, one arm 

 of which passes over each lateral angle upon lateral portion of dorsum, 

 there immediately diffusing into a wider longitudinal band formed of 

 black streaks and dots which form a mesh-work dorsally, but which 

 ventrad become isolated and more and more sparse; these lateral dark 

 bands extending caudad to the spinnerets leave a median dorsal light 

 band in the anterior portion of which is a lanceolate dark outline from 

 back of the middle of each side of which extends a dark line cnudo- 

 laterad into the dark band, a similar pair of lines from apex fonnii 

 chevron mark which is followed caudad by several similar marks ; the 

 lines forming the lanceolate and chevron marks are more or les^ broken. 

 and in the spaces between them are a number of small black dots; 

 venter clear grey, without any markings; epigynum reddish; spin- 

 nerets yellowish; abdomen in life clothed chiefly with white or ' ; 

 grey hair.

 the dorsal edge of each lateral eye being ventrad of the the 



middle ones; anterior median eyes not fully their radiu< apart, a little 

 closer to the lateral eyes; anterior lateral eyes about three- foiirtli -
