ward along the middle of the abdomen. It widens in front and 

 tapers backwai'd nearly to the middle, behind which it is broken up 

 into a series of four or five transverse spots edged with deep black 

 and including some fine black spots. Legs yellowish, ringed with 

 gray on the femur and less distinctly on the patella and tibia. In a 

 fresh young female the general color is gray. The gray band on the 

 cephalothorax extends forward covering the area between the eyes 

 to the front of the head. This part of the band is a little darker 

 than the rest. The edges of the cephalothorax are a little lighter 

 than the rest but the light markings only show when wet. The legs 

 are plainly ringed with gray on all the joints and the palpi are light. 



The sternum is black in the middle and light at the sides. The 

 coxffi are light and the under side of the legs lighter than the upper. 

 The under side of the abdomen is sometimes entirely gray, or there 

 is a middle lighter area with a dark stripe running back from the 

 epigynum nearly to the spinnerets. The male palpi are black at the 

 end and the other joints are darkened by scattered black hairs. 



The middle process of the male palpi is short and sharply bent 

 toward the side and the small hook at its base is very small. Fig. Ic.

 $ , 6""" long; 5 , 5™'". In alcohol, at least, the colors are duller and 

 the markings less distinct than in the other species in both sexes. 

 The legs are more distinctly ringed on the femur and tibia, all the 

 legs nearly alike. The light markings on the middle of the thorax 

 and abdomen are large like P. alhopatella, but not brightly colored. 

 There is little difference in the markings between the sexes. The 

 epigynum is wide with a small narrow middle lobe. The anterior 

 pits are large and wide apart. The male palpi are long and the 

 joints are not much thickened. The middle process of the palpal 

 organ is short and stout, with the end curved backward into a short 

 hook. Fig. 5.

The head is high and wide. The middle and posterior eyes are 

 very large, and seen from above form almost a square covering the 

 whole top of the head. The front row of eyes is much shorter than 

 the second row aiul slightly curved upward. The second row are
