Female. — Cephalothorax brown, marked with a median paler band as 

 wide anteriorly as the third eye row, between the eyes of which it 

 extends in a tongue-like process forward, this narrower process in 

 life clothed with white hair; the median band constricted at the dorsal 

 groove and extending from there down the posterior declivity as 

 narrower stripe; on each side beginning mesally from the eye of the 

 third row a dark line extends posteriorly through the median pale 

 band to the point of its constriction where it unites with the dark 

 of the sides; a narrow, anteriorly interrupted, supramarginal pale 

 stripe with dentate margin. Chelicene deep chestnut or reddish black. 

 Labiimi and endites reddish black, the former a little paler apically. 

 Sternum and coxce of legs beneath black. Legs light brown; the 

 femora with darker markings which are more distinct on the posterior 

 paire; tibise of fourth legs black at each end beneath, the metatarsi 

 sometimes also darkened distally; legs elsewhere without evident 

 markings. Abdomen above light brown or yellowish; a dark, black- 

 edged, spear-shaped mark which is laterally dentate and blunt or 

 forked at its posterior end; the spear-mark followed posteriorly with 

 a series of dark chevron-shaped transverse marks, which may be 

 separated by corresponding transverse marks of white hair, the 

 chevrons commonly confluent laterally with dark mottlings at the 

 sides and thereby with each other, in other cases confluent mesally 

 with each other and with the basal mark; sides of abdomen above 

 with spots and streaks of brown, pale below; venter entirely black. 



Cephalothorax highest at the third eye row, the dorsal line as seen 

 in profile from there a little sloping and nearly straight to the posterior 

 declivity. Face relatively low, its sides moderately slanting outward 

 from above below. 



Anterior row of eyes clearly shorter than the second, a little pro- 

 curved; anterior median eyes less than their radius apart, about the 

 same distance from the lateral eyes, which are smaller than the median. 

 Eyes of the second row less than their diameter apart.
