Male. — Colored like female, the anterior legs not specially modified, 

 chelicerse clothed with yellow and greenish pubescence. Legs con-

 nearly as wide as tarsus, sides more straight than in ocreata; tarsus as 

 long as two preceding joints together. Exposed part of lunate area 

 very small, situated at base and with convexity external; horn of 

 conductor broad at base, conical; principal tenaculum external from 

 middle, the lesser tenaculum at antero-exterior angle of conductor, 

 small, bsnt a little downward apically; auricle of lectal fold bluntly 

 and abruptly rounded apically. For other features see PI. XVI, fig. 2.

Hentz states that males of this species were common in Alabama in

 have examined are males. The marking of the venter of the abdomen
