 median eye; a black line from clypeus over each anterior median eye 

 and extending back across each posterior lateral eye. Sternum black ;

 spot. Labium and endites dusky over a yellow background, pale 

 across tips. Legs yellow; a heavy black annulus opt femora just dis-

 mark of lanceolate form with apex cephalad. Anterior portion of 

 sides brown, each band followed caudad toward spinnerets by a 

 number of brown spots, some of which unite in several lines across
