 Female. — Cephalothorax with a median grayish band (of pubescence) 

 which, beginning at the second eye row, passes between the eyes of 

 third row and then abruptly bulges on each side, being much wider 

 than eye area midway between eyes and dorsal groove, then narrowing 

 to dorsal groove where it is about same width as eye area; parallel 

 sided to posterior declivity and then narrowing down the declivity; the 

 median band, while chiefly of gray hair, has intermixed brown hair 

 which is more abundant anteriorly between eyes; in wide area back of 

 eyes an intramarginal line on each side is formed of brown hair, these 

 lines being parallel to the sides and merging together in the brown 

 between the eyes. Sides of cephalothorax chocolate brown, clothed 

 with brown pubescence; a narrow marginal and a similar supramarginal 

 line of grayish hair on each side. Chelicerce reddish black. Labium 

 with gray pubescence. Sternum blackish brown.. Coxce of legs 

 beneath paler brown like other joints of legs. Legs dark brown; 

 femora lighter beneath on basal half, apically on most femora two 

 interrupted light rings and a few hght, transverse marks above else- 

 where. Tibia with several light rings, which on the anterior pair may 

 be confluent beneath; other joints unmarked. Abdomen beneath at 

 sides dusky brown, having a ]:)lackish-brown tegument covered with 

 brown hair, rather darker on sides above; a black spot on each antero- 

 lateral angle which encloses a light spot, the latter nearly breaking 

 through lower margin of spot; mesally from the black spot is a large 

 light spot on each side; along the inner posterior margin of each of 

 these orange spots being a short oblique black line, the two lines not 

 meeting in the middle; posteriorly is a series of median black 

 chevron-marks, the first divided or nearly so at middle; at the outer 

 end of each of the chevrons is a light spot enclosed by black, the 

 light spots thus forming a lateral series on each side; in front of 

 each half of each chevron is a light colored spot; these spots in front 

 of the posterior chevrons confluent. The series of light spots on 

 each side in life covered with grayish or gray pubescence; the large
