reddish yellow, anteriorly passing forward broadly between eyes of third 

 row and nearly reaching second, more or less divided at front end by a 

 black median line or pointed process; eyes surrounded with black; on 

 each side considerably above margin a narrow, wavy light line which does 

 not extend forward upon the pars cephalica, this line often obscure; 

 clypeus reddish yellow, crossed beneath each anterior lateral eye by a 

 black mark or spot which is often confluent with its fellow across the 

 middle, thus leaving the clypeus pale only laterally; light bands of 

 cephalothorax in life clothed denseh^ with white or light gray pubescence. 

 Chelicene reddish brown, often dusky, except at distal ends, and marked 

 by black lines. Enditcs brown, the labium darker, usually blackish except 

 at tip. Sternum usually black or nearly so, paler along borders, especially 

 caudo-laterally; sometimes paler reddish brown. Coxce of legs beneath 

 light brown. Legs reddish brown, paler distally, all joints except the 

 tarsi with dark annulations, the annulations of the femora broader and 

 deeper, commonly more or less confluent, especially the anterior pairs, 

 the annulations of the other joints often indistinct. Sides of abdomen 

 above dark, a black band passing from the front face backward across 

 each antero-lateral angle and breaking up behind into numerous 

 streaks and spots; the dorsum covered for entire length by a broad 

 light brown band of often reddish tinge, the band usually constricted 

 in front of middle; within the light band at base a lanceolate outline 

 which bifurcates at its apex and is followed behind by a series of chevron- 

 lines; lower part of sides of abdomen light brown, marked with small 

 black spots; the venter light brown, either immaculate or with a 

 median, and at each side a lateral, row of dark spots behind the furrow 

 of the lung slits. Epigyman and spinnerets brown. Face moder- 

 ately high, two-thirds as high as the length of the chelicerse, its sides 

 moderately steep. First row of eyes considerably shorter than the 

 second, distinctly procurved, the median three-fourths their diameter 

 apart, nearly the same distance from the three-fourths as large lateral 

 eyes ; anterior lateral eyes their diameter, or slightly more, from front 

 margin of clypeus, very little farther from eyes of second row, eyes of 

 second row not fully their diameter apart; quadrangle of posterior 

 eyes about one-fourth the length of the cephalothorax. Chelicerw 

 armed as usual. Labium longer than wide, the basal notch very long, 

 more than one-third the total length of labium; sides above straight 

 and strongly converging, the front margin straight, not at all curved. 

 Legs long, the distal joints rather slender; tibia 4- patella of first legs 

 of same length as the cephalothorax ; anterior tibiae armed beneath as 

 usual, the first two pairs of spines long, nearly as in Pardosa, the first
