metatarsus and tarsus, rest black-haired; hind legs plainly banded; 

 femur of male palpus white-haired above. It is Ph. otiosus Htz. 



Phidippus elegans Koch. 



A young female; mandibles rather reddish, dorsum of abdomen 

 with a median stripe of greenish scales, and some green scales in 

 front. 



It is probably Ph. multicolor Htz. 

 Phidippus purpurifer Koch. 



Male and female from "Amer. Sept., Bescke," so quite probably 

 not from the United States. It is not Ph. audax. A very large 

 species; purple mandibles, the wrinkles on them not as continuous 

 as in audax, palpus with white hair, clypeus snow-white, tibia I jet- 

 black with a black fringe, venter wholly black, dorsum of abdomen 

 marked much like audax, but a distinct white basal band. 



Phidippus togatus Koch. 



A female. Besides the three white spots, there is a white i)and 

 around the abdomen above, and on the venter a broad black median 

 stripe margined with white; mandibles green above, blue near tips; 

 a hair tuft in front of dorsal eyes, and behind anterior lateral eyes 

 are many rather scattered bristles; white hair on patellae, and on 

 bases of tibiae and metatarsi I and II ; on the hind legs the basal half 

 of tibia and part of metatarsus are plainly pale, rest black. 



Phidippus paludatus Koch. 



Red only above, and not reaching eyes; abdomen with a white 

 band at base and four spots behind white, venter dark with tAvo 

 pale median lines ; mandibles dark red-brown on the base, paler 

 toward the tip; no hair tufts, but long hairs all over the cephalo- 

 thorax; clypeus dark. A male, palpus bent under and perhaps not 

 quite adult. 



Phidippus regius Koch. 



This Cuban species, as I have identified it. IMandibles strongly 

 wrinkled and green; clypeus densely white-haired; legs plainly 

 banded, tarsi I mostly black, metatarsus pale all over; hair tufts 

 in front of dorsal eyes. 

 Phidippus auotus Koch. 



A female. Mandibles faintly green, clypeus with long white hairs, 

 a hair-tuft in front of dorsal eyes, leg I without any long fringes; 

 abdomen with bright red hair above, a basal white band, behind is 

 probably a black stripe, but here the abdomen is broken, sides dark, 

 venter with dark median stripe.
