 tuberculated, and on the ectal side an acutely pointed longer process.

Readily distinguished from B. pacificwu Simon, also described from 

 Washington, in having a dense patch of spines on both inner and outer 

 surface of tibia I of male instead of only on the inner (anterior) surface, 

 as well as in presenting pronounced differences in the palpal organ. 

 From B. rohustum Simon, which it seems most to resemble, it differs, 

 among other points, in the palpal organ and in the modifications of 

 leg I.
