antero-mesal line of each chelicera, this hne distaUy turning obhqiiely 

 outward and reaching the outer side; clothed mostly with white hair 

 except distally where brown hair and bristles are intermixed. Labium 

 and endites light brown, paler at tips. Coxce of legs beneath light 

 brown. Sternum with ground color brown, mostly with a row of 

 black spots along each lateral margin, and occupied over the middle 

 region by a large black area divided by a median light line; sometimes 

 the black area is much reduced and the yellow or brown color then 

 predominates, but usually the black covers all but a rather narrow 

 stripe toward each side and the mesal light line; subdensely clothed 

 with long white or light gray hairs. Legs light brown, all joints except 

 tarsi marked with black annuli which^are close together on the proximal 

 joints, which in consequence often appear very dark; the metatarsus 

 has three well-separated dark annuli and appears paler Uke the tarsi; 

 black rings of femora more or less broken ventrally. Abdomen above 

 blackish; a very distinct yellow or pale brown lanceolate median 

 stripe at base, mth an obliquely placed yellow angular spot of usual 

 type each side of apex, and behind a series of four or five similar and 

 obliquely placed pairs of spots, the pairs more or less confluent mesally, 

 into anteriorly pointed chevron-shaped cross-bands ; a yellow mark each 

 side of base of the median lanceolate stripe; dorsum for the most part 

 covered with brown pubescence, but each side of lanceolate mark a row 

 of spots formed by bunches of white hair, and behind but more widely 

 separated two similar rows of lateral white spots with sometimes a 

 median row of similarly formed white marks; sides below yellow or 

 pale brown clothed with brown pubescence intermixed in spots and 

 streaks with white, which becomes more abundant below and entirely 

 clothes the venter; tegument of venter yellowish, sometimes with four 

 rows of small brown dots which converge posteriorly. Spinnerets 

 brown. Epigi/num light reddish brown, darker marginally. 



Sides of face steep, but little rounded and slanting outward below; 

 moderate in height, the chelicerse once and a half as long as its height 

 or nearly so. Dorsal line of cephalothorax nearly straight and level to 

 the posterior declivity. 



Anterior row of eyes considerably shorter than the second, reaching 

 but little beyond centers of eyes of the latter, slightly procurved ; anterior 

 median eyes fully their diameter apart, half so far from the but slightly 

 smaller lateral eyes, their diameter or slightly less from eyes of second 

 row; anterior lateral eyes not fully twice their diameter from front 

 margin of clypeus, rather more than their diameter from eyes of second 

 row; eyes of second row their diameter apart; quadrangle of posterior 

 eyes one-fourth the length of the cephalothorax.
