longitudinal lines in wide part in front of dorsal groove; on each side, 

 at a distance above margin greater than its own width, a narrow light 

 band colored hke the median one; elsewhere the tegument deep brown, 

 clothed mostly with dark to blackish-brown pubescence, with grayish 

 intermixed. Chelicene dark reddish brown with grayish-brown pubes- 

 cence. Labium and endites dark brown, inclined to be lighter at tips. 

 Sternum reddish brown, sparsely clothed with a few short hairs of light 

 color and more numerous long bristles of black. Coxce of legs beneath 

 brown, grayish-yellow pubescence much more abundant than on ster- 

 num. Legs brown, darker distall}^, at least femora with rather faint 

 darker rings, which on the two anterior pairs are most distinct on the 

 meso-caudal aspect and on the two posterior pairs on the meso-cephalic 

 aspect; clothed with shorter grayish-yellow pubescence and longer 

 blackish or blackish-brown hair. Abdomen in general color reddish 

 brown, lighter beneath; above with a complicated pattern of black 

 lines, in part as follows : at base a lanceolate outline, giving off on each 

 side near apical third a line running caudo-laterally to dark area at 

 sides, its tip at middle touching apex of a chevron-mark which is 

 followed caudally by a number of similar marks; each chevron-mark 

 commonly double or paired, i.e., consisting of two parallel chevrons 

 separated by a light line, except sometimes at ends; on each side of 

 chevrons irregular darker spots and blotches. The tegument of the 

 sides with spots of black, but that of venter unmarked. The pubes- 

 cence of the abdomen is yellowish-gray and brown in life, or in dry 

 specimens, the pubescence largely concealing the complicated markings 

 of the tegument and so arranged as to produce above two rows of 

 light spots more or less connected by transverse light lines. Sides with 

 light and dark pubescence, more or less in streaks and spots, but venter 

 without markings. Spinnerets brown. Epigynum dark reddish brown. 



Face low, less than half the length of the chelicera; (1 : 2.4), sides 

 convex, widely slanting, about as wide at base as length of chelicerae, 

 high and narrow; in profile dorsal line rather strongly convex. An- 

 terior part of head rounded, the space between third and second rows 

 of eyes sloping rather strongly; the first row of eyes projecting forward 

 so as to be seen clearly from above. 



Front row of eyes straight or slightly recurved, slightly longer than the 

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

 smaller side eyes; anterior lateral eyes about their diameter from the 

 front margin of clypeus, closer to eyes of second row; eyes of second 

 row not more than two-thirds their diameter apart; eyes of third row 

 scarcely smaller than of second, their diameter from latter, more than
