This is smaller than the other species, measuring about 4™'" in 

 length. The markings are similar but the colors are brighter. The 

 cephalothorax is narrower than in hrevis and the front part of the 

 head including the upper middle eyes is abruptly raised in both sexes. 

 The three dark stripes on the cephalothorax are united together 

 toward the head which is nearly black especially in the males. The 

 folium is dark brown on the edges and has a light stripe in the 

 middle which is yellow along the edges and sometimes bright red in 

 the middle. The upper middle eyes are much larger than the others 

 and on the sides of a hump in both sexes. The legs are stout and 

 stiff and brownish yellow in color, the front pair the darkest.
