This is a small, short-legged species, like the last. The cephalo- 

 thorax is reddish brown, dark at the sides and light in the middle, 

 the two colors spreading into each other by several irregular notches 

 around the dorsal groove. The hairs of the cephalothorax are very 

 short and the whole surface looks as if polished. The legs are col- 

 ored like the cephalothorax but have longer hairs and dark spines. 

 The abdomen is light yellowish, with dark gray or black markings, 

 resembling those of 7\genaria. On the front end is a light middle 

 patch partly divided into three, and behind this are five or six herring- 

 bone markings broken by irregular light spots. Under the abdomen 

 is a dark middle line, which widens at the ends aroixnd the epigynum 

 and the spinnerets. At the sides of this line and in front the abdo- 

 men is yellowish white, except irregular dark gray lines, which 

 extend down the sides from above. The sternum and under sides of 

 tbe legs are dark like the back of the thorax. 



Another variety has dark markings on the cephalothorax and legs. 

 The legs are marked with broken dark rings, two or three on each 

 joint. The head and middle of the thorax are light, with some faint 

 dark spots. On each side of this light area are two irregular dark 

 bands not extending to the edge of the cephalothorax, which is 

 marked by broken spots of light and dark. 



The front row of eyes is much wider than the second row. 



The epigynum is short and wide and has a peculiar shape character- 

 istic of this species, see fig. 2c.
