densely clothed with light gray pubescence; sides of cephalothorax 

 clothed with mixed black and gray pubescence, the gray predoininating, 

 increasing in abundance from above below and finally forming a narrow 

 marginal light gray stripe in which the hair is unmixed with any 

 black. Chelicerce black, clothed over basal portion with light brown 

 pubescence, distally with black. Labium and endites dark reddish or 

 blackish brown, lighter at tips. Sternum and coxce of legs beneath 

 dark reddish-brown to black, the coxae somewhat paler basally; 

 clothed with black hair. Legs brown or reddish brown with some 

 dark annulations on the femora, which may be indistinct and which are 

 cormnonly incomplete above and below; the patella;, tibiae and meta- 

 tarsi of the posterior pairs of legs also normally annulate with dark, 

 the patellae showing one ring, the tibiae two and the metatarsi three; 

 the anterior legs not marked beyond the femora; legs densely clothed 

 with gray pubescence, longer black hairs sparse. Abdomen above 

 grayish brown, the pubescence being mixed gray and brown, the gray 

 sometimes arranged over entire dorsum in minute spots and streaks; 

 black pubescence over two angular spots close together in front of 

 middle, these spots forming the angular lateral portion of an else- 

 where faint basal lanceolate outline which bifurcates at its posterior 

 end; a number of less distinct dark transverse chevron-lines behind; 

 a black band or spot crossing over each antero-lateral angle caudally, 

 with pubescence of same color, this band dissolving in the gray and 

 brown pubescence behind; sides of abdomen light brown, densely 

 covered with gray and brown puliescence, these sometimes vmiformly 

 mingled but more commonly intermixed in numerous small spots and 

 streaks; venter with a wide median band of black back of spinnerets, 

 the edges of which are uneven, this band frequently occupying the 

 entire venter; at times the dark band is entirely absent. Epigijmim 

 reddish brown. Spinnerets brown. 



Face low a,nd wide, in height less than half the length of the chelicerae, 

 sides rounded and strongly slanting. Dorsal Une of cephalothorax 

 highest between third eye row and dorsal groove, being convex between 

 eyes and the posterior declivity. 



Anterior row of eyes but slightly procurved, nearly or quite as wide 

 as the second; anterior median eyes their radius apart, closer to the 

 somewhat smaller lateral eyes; anterior lateral eyes one and one-half 

 times their diameter from the front margin of clypeus, less than their 

 diameter from eyes of second row; eyes of second row considerably 

 less than their diameter apart; eyes of third row more than twice as far 

 from each other as from eyes of second row; quadrangle of posterior 

 eyes a little more than one-sixth as long as the cephalothorax.
