lateral inargin, above which is an uneven edged, wavy yellow stripe; 

 a similarly colored median band, which beginning narrow behind 

 widens cephalad, is constricted a little behind the eyes and then again 

 widens to enclose the eyes as usual, embracing in its anterior half two 

 dark elongate marks which beginning at the two posterior eyes con- 

 verge and unite at the front end of the median furrow; eyes enclosed in 

 black. Chelicerce reddish yellow. Labium brownish 3^ellow with paler 

 tip. Sternum blackish with a yellow median stripe and on each side 

 three similarly colored elongate spots. Legs yellow, a little darker 

 distally, with faint indications of light rings. Palpi yellow, distal 

 joints brown. Abdomen above dark gray; anteriorly with a yellow 

 stripe, near this two small spots, and behind this and extending to the 

 spinnerets a number of paired successively smaller and smaller spots of 

 the same yellow color; sides marked with small streaks and dots of 

 yellow ; venter smoky white'Vith three brown longitudinal stripes and 

 several similarly^colored streaks at the sides of these. Epigynum clear 

 reddish brown. Spirmerets browjiish yellow. In a second specimen 

 the sternum has two dark, indistinct, parallel longitudinal lines over its 

 middle region. 



Cephalothorax shorter than the tibia + patella of the fourth pair of 

 legs, as wide as the metatarsus of the same legs, not highly arched, the 

 entire back apparently of similar height, toward the lateral margins 

 fiat and toward the nearly straight caudal margin rather steeply slop- 

 ing ; cephalic furrows indistinct, the head in front low and sloping flatly 

 at the sides. 



Anterior row of eyes straight, somewhat shorter than the second, 

 separated from the latter and from the margin of the clypeus by not 

 fully the diameter of one of the somewhat larger median eyes; eyes 

 of the second row nearly their diameter apart, more than this from 

 the two-thirds as large eyes of the third, distinctly wider row; entire 

 eye area wider behind than in front. Chelicerse someAvhat enlarged in 

 front, not entirely twice as wide as the labium, which is somewhat 

 longer than wide and is anteriorly somewhat excavated. Sternum 

 somewhat longer than broad, moderately arched and clothed with a 

 few black bristles. Legs moderately slender, the fourth pair somewhat 

 more than three and one-half times as long as the cephalothorax and 

 about twice the length of its tarsus longer than the first; tibia + patella 

 IV somewhat longer than metatarsus which is longer than the femur; 

 principal claws of tarsi with 6-7 teeth, the middle one with none; only 

 a thin scopula on tarsi of the two first pairs, none on the posterior; 

 spines of femur I above 1, 1, 1, within 1, without none, of patella I
