 Male. — Cephalothorax with a wide median band of reddish-brown 

 color extending to clj^peus anteriorly; in front this band is as wide as the 

 clypeus and wider than the eye area, narrowing gradually and con- 

 stantly backward to a point at posterior margin, the sides nearly 

 straight ; this band appears to have been clothed in life with light gray 

 pubescence. Sides of cephalothorax dark brown, i)resenting a reddish- 

 brown background covered with radiating blackish lines which are more 

 or less confluent above and below. Chelicene reddish brown. Labium 

 and endites brown, paler distally. Sternum black or very nearly so. 

 Coxaz beneath brown. Legs brown of orange hue; all joints except 

 tarsi with black annuli, these annuli incomplete beneath except on 

 femora where they are most distinct. Abdomen with a light basal 

 mark, the sides of which are nearly parallel to its middle, then narrowed 

 to a truncate point at middle of abdomen; this basal mark is densely 

 clothed with Avhite hairs and is margined at sides and behind by black, 

 mostly broken into irregularly elongated spots, from the sides of this 

 black extend somewhat broken lines of black more or less obliquely 

 outward and backward, the last two lines extending froni the angles of 

 the truncate apex of basal mark; behind in the middle is a series of 

 transverse black lines, and along each side a number of black dots; 

 on each side of dorsum behind a row of light spots clothed with whitish 

 hairs; the background of abdomen above orange-brown; sides of abdo- 

 men orange-brown mottled with numerous irregular black dots and 

 marks; venter with clear orange-brown, darkened in front of lung-slits 

 and along a narrow border laterally and posteriorly. Palpi \\\X]\ the
