yellow, this area embracing some small, ill-defined dark dots. Pos- 

 teriorly are pairs of ocellate light spots which are united transversely 

 by inverse chevron-lines, between which are indicated pale chevron- 

 lines with the apices directed forward. The dorsum elsewhere and the 

 sides covered with a dense network of black over the obscure yellow 

 background, i.e., appearing black marked with numerous small dots 

 of 3^ellow. Venter yellow with some short transverse marks of dark 

 color toward the sides. Epigynum reddish yellow. Spinnerets yellow. 



First row of eijes evidently shorter than the second. Anterior 

 median eyes larger than the lateral (4 : 3), at most their radius apart, 

 half as far from the lateral eyes. Anterior lateral eyes a little less than 

 their diameter from front margin of clypeus, two-thirds their diameter 

 from eyes of second row. Eyes of second row two-thirds their diam- 

 eter apart. Dorsal eye area of same length as the width in front 

 which is but little less than that behind, the area being subquadrate. 

 Dorsal eye area one-fourth as long as the cephalothorax. 



Legs of but moderate length. Tibia + patella IV shorter than the 

 cephalothorax, longer than the metatarsus. IMetatarsus IV some 

 longer than tibia + patella of leg I. Spines of anterior tibiae rather 

 short, slender and prone. None of the tarsi truly scopulate, sparsely 

 clothed with bristles of ordinary form. 



Lower margin of furrow of cheliceroe with three teeth as in Lycosa, 

 the teeth conical and well spaced, the median one being largest. The 

 upper margin with but two teeth which are stout and conical, the first 

 being larger than the second and also larger than those of the lower 

 margin which are of about same size as the second one above. 



Labium attenuated anteriorly, its front margin concave. 



For structure of epigynum see PI. XXIII, fig. 4. 



Total length, 5.2 mm. I^ength of cephalothorax, 2.8 mm.; width, 

 2 mm. 



Length of leg I, 6.1 mm. ; tib. + pat., 2 mm. ; met., 1.3 mm. 



Length of leg II, 5.8 mm. 



Length of leg III, 5.8 mm. 



Length of leg IV, 7.5 mm. ; tib. -I- pat., 2.5 mm. ; met., 2.2 mm.

Described from a specimen loaned by California Academy of Sciences 

 and bearing label by Banks of Aulonia{1) funerea Htz. 



While not yet reported actually from within our borders, the form 

 will doubtless be found to occur in the Southwest and is therefore 

 included.
