Male. — Much hghter in color than the female, but the color patterns 

 are nearly the same. The lighter pubescence is much more abundant 

 on cephalothorax than in the female, much predominating over that of 

 blackish color. Legs much lighter with the yellow pubescence dense, 

 while the longer black hairs are comparatively sparse; femora with 

 traas verse dark bands above, but these indistinct or absent at sides 

 and ventrally ; distinct dark rings on tibiae. Labium and endites some- 

 times colored as in female but often much lighter, almost yellow. 

 Coxce of legs beneath with black on ventral surface, often reduced to a 

 few spots at distal end, the coxae being elsewhere yellow. On the 

 abdomen also the yellow and brown pubescence predominates over the 

 black, the latter appearing over the black basal band (which is distinct, 

 widest toward posterior end and pointed anteriorly), over the antero- 

 lateral angles and in variously formed spots and streaks laterally, 

 most of the dorsum being thus in life of a golden brown color; venter 

 usually yellow with some spots of black, less often as in the female. 



The chelicerce clothed on basal half with long golden yellow hairs, 

 distally with black hairs. 



Tibia + patella IV longer than the cephalothorax, of same length 

 as the metatarsus; patellae I and II armed in front and behind.
