dark parts with brown. Chelicerce yellowish to brown over front 

 face, darker at tips and along a narrow stripe extending down the 

 mesal face and turning obliquely outward below; also a dark line 

 along exterior face. Labium and endites brown, usually darker toward 

 base. Coxce of legs beneath brown. Sternum brown, with a black stripe 

 or row of black spots each side of the median line and a narrower black 

 line or row of small spots along each lateral margin ; sometimes entirely 

 black; clothed with grayish white hair. Legs brown; femora marked 

 above and beneath with several longitudinal black lines or narrow 

 stripes and with cross-marks on the sides; tibiae above with a trans- 

 verse black band at the proximal end, and with a median longitudinal 

 black line extending from this to the distal end, and also with a similar 

 black line along each lateral face; the basal black band on posterior 

 tibiae usually half as wide as the length of the joint, narrow on 

 anterior ones ; at least the posterior patellae with a median longitudinal 

 black line above and a similar one at each side ; metatarsi especially of 

 the posterior pairs with a more indistinct median dorsal line, the pos- 

 terior ones also usually annulate with dark ; the femora appear evidently 

 darker than the more distal joints and the posterior legs darker than 

 the anterior. Abdomen above brownish black ; a basal lanceolate stripe 

 of reddish-brown color; a series of transverse lines behind of same color, 

 usually more indistinct, these marks formed of two rows of converging 

 spots as is usual ; sides of abdomen reddish brown mostly spotted with 

 black; venter light brown, often with two dark lines close together 

 along the median line and gradually converging caudad ; sometimes a 

 similar dark line at each side; at other times the venter is brown 

 without markings or with dark spots at the sides; in life the abdomen 

 is clothed above over the dark parts with dark brown hair, the light 

 lanceolate basal mark covered with whitish hair, and a number of 

 transverse lines of similar light hair behind with or without a row of 

 small white spots along each side of them. Epigynum dark brown. 

 Spinnerets dark brown to black. 



Cephalothorax of moderate height or rather low; in profile highest at 

 the third eye row, the dorsal line from there to the posterior declivity 

 nearly straight, gradually slanting, depressed each side of the dorsal 

 groove. Chelicerce about once and a fourth as long as the face is high; 

 sides of face nearly straight, slightly slanting from the vertical. 



Anterior row of eyes of the usual relative length and curvature ; 

 anterior median eyes their diameter apart or nearly so, much closer 

 to the lateral eyes; anterior lateral eyes smaller than the median, a 

 little more than their diameter from eyes of second row, twice their
