Tijpe locality. — California. 



Known localities. — California!, Utah!. 



This is a common Pardosa on the Pacific Coast. Specimens from 

 Utah are lighter colored than those which I have seen from California 

 (including Keyserling's types, described above, which have of course 

 darkened in the alcohol). In the Utah specimens the lateral yellow 

 stripes are wide, with the upper margin sinuous and with a black line 

 along the lower, a somewhat indistinct and irregular black line dividing 

 the stripes longitudinally; endites yellow; labium and sternum brown, 

 the latter usually not showing the black markings as described above 

 for the type; chevron-marks of dorsum containing each from two to 

 four black dots, as if formed by the confluence of as many light, black- 

 centered dots; sides gray black with numerous minute brown dots; 

 venter immaculate light gray or with a few small dark dots back of 

 epigynum and at each side; spinnerets pale yellow, Cephalothorax 

 in life clothed with light gray and brown hair, the sides with brown, 

 the median band especially posteriorly with gray, and the lateral stripes 

 with gray except along the geminating dark line, the median stripe in 

 front with brown and gray pubescence intermixed. Chelicerce with 

 light gray hair and long brown bristles. Sternum and legs with light 

 gray hair, the latter with longer brown bristles. Abdomen clothed 

 above with chiefly light brown hair, light gray or white hair in spots 

 on each side and forming some transverse lines posteriorly, scattered 

 longer dark brown bristles; sides of abdomen with brown and gray 

 pubescence intermixed in streaks and spots; venter with hair unmixed 

 gray. 



Pardosa lapidicina Emerton, 1885. 



(Trans. Conn. Acad., 6, p. 491, PI. 48, figs. 5 to 5c.) 

 Female. — Sides of the cephalothorax black; a lighter, though some- 

 times indistinct or even obscure median band of dark reddish brown 

 color which begins as a narrow process between the posterior eyes, 

 behind the third eye row abruptly widens and is constricted in front of 

 dorsal furrow, at the caudal end of which it is strongly narrowed, its 

 margin more or less dentate; on each side, at least posteriorly, a row of 

 supramarginal light spots which are sometimes obscured , but in others 

 are long and distinct; eyes surrounded with black; labium black, not 

 paler than sides of cephalothorax; sides of cephalothorax clothed 

 densely with rather long gray or brownish gray to blackish pubescence,
