 Cephalothorax with a deep brown longitudinal band enclosing the 

 eyes of each side and extending to the posterior end of cephalothorax, 

 the two leaving between them and also along each border a yellow 

 band, the two dark bands and the three yellow bands being of approxi- 

 mately the same width ; each marginal band is bisected posteriorly by a 

 dark siipramarginal line; the median band often of a reddish tinge; the 

 lateral dark bands united in front across the face, enclosing the eyes 

 of the first and second rows, the median pale band narrowing and 

 ending in a point between the second and third eye rows; marginal 

 bands continuous in front with the j^ellow clypeus; in life the yellow 

 bands covered with white pubescence, which extends also from median 

 band forward between ej'^es to clypeus ; sides of cephalothorax covered 

 with brown pubescence. Chelicerce yellow, with sparse white hair 

 and long dark brown bristles. Labium brown. Endites and coxob 

 of legs beneath yellow. Sternum yellow, with four rows of black spots 

 which converge posteriorly, the two inner rows uniting posteriorly 

 into a single line ; clothed with white hair. Legs yellow to brown ; the 

 femora above dark, blackish, or with blackish streaks, but pale beneath ; 

 tibiae and tarsi of posterior pairs sometimes darkened; clothed with 

 white pubescence and some sparser dark hairs. Abdomen with a 

 black band across the anterior face which extends backward on each 

 side across the antero-lateral angle as a narrow stripe which reaches to 

 the spinnerets, the two black stripes leaving a wide reddish yellow 

 median band which is widest in front; in the basal portion of the dorsal 

 yellow band are two black lines or rows of black dots which meet in a 

 point at the middle forming thus a spear-shaped outline; behind the 

 dorsal band is more or less indistinctly divided by narrow transverse 

 lines into segments which contain each two minute black dots; sides of 

 abdomen pale yellow with numerous small black spots which are more 

 scattered ventrally and which are absent from a spot beneath each 

 antero-lateral angle; venter pale or whitish yellow with two rows of 

 black spots converging from the genital furrow to the spinnerets; 

 abdomen with the dark bands and spots clothed with brown hair, else- 

 where densely clothed with white hair which gives its color to the 

 abdomen in life or when dry. Spinnerets yellow. Epigynum yellow, 

 darker marginall}-.
