 Female. — Sides of the cephalothorax and the dorsal eye area black ; 

 a median band of brown color of reddish caste beginning back of eyes 

 and passing posteriorly over dorsal groove and narrowing down the 

 posterior declivity to a line; the median band at its anterior end is 

 nearly always bifurcate, the two slender divergent processes embracing 

 between them a similarly colored spot, with which they are connected 

 each by a narrow line; a light brown band along each lateral border, 

 limited below posteriorly by a black marginal line and geminated for 

 its entire length by a second black line; the lateral bands are continu- 

 ous and attain the clypeus in front which is of the same color; median 

 light stripe with some white pubescence, but with brown hair predomi- 

 nating for most of its length; sides with brown pubescence; marginal 

 light stripes clothed above and below the geminating dark line with 

 white pubescence, the dark lines with sparser brown hair. Chelicera>
