This species resembles jniuetulata, but the legs are proportionately 

 longer. The cephalothorax has two dark longitudinal stripes along 

 the middle and finer dark lines near the edges. The abdomen has a 

 dark middle stripe broken by two notches near the front third and 

 inclnding three or four pairs of light spots in the hinder half. The 

 under side is light without markings. The legs are liglit with the 

 ends of the joints darker. 



The epigynura is shorter and wider than in pratctidtitu and less 

 convex. The transverse end of the middle lobe is wider.

 Cephalothorax, 3-5""". 



The cephalothorax has a light gray stripe in the middle from the 

 second row of eyes backward. At the sides the cephalothorax is 

 dark brown. The abdomen is dark brown at the sides and has a 

 light grayish figure in the middle indistinctly divided into segments 

 on the hinder half. Fig. 6. The legs are yellowish, indistinctly ringed 

 with gray on the femora. The hairs are long all over the body and 

 the spines on the legs are also long. In the male the cephalothorax 

 is wide behind and the legs are longer and stouter. Tlie tibite of the 

 front legs are thickly covered with dark brow^n hairs which stand out 

 at right angles to the leg and make it ap]>ear thickened. The male 

 palpi are thickened toward the end. The tibia is as wide as long 

 and the patella is also short and thick. The palpal organ has a 

 long thin process at the end which lies across the tarsus and makes it 

 appear twisted. The front row of eyes is shorter than the second 

 row and the eyes are small with the lateral not much larger than the 

 middle. The eyes of the second row are large and about their diam- 

 eter a]>art. 



New Haven, Conn., common in open woods among dead leaves.
