nearly straight and parallel in the female, and widened a little behind 

 the middle in the male. 



The colors of the living female, PL XVIII, fig, 3, are bronze green 

 which in some lights changes to copper red on the abdomen and 

 cephalothorax. The legs are yellow, with longitudinal dark stripes, 

 except the front femora, which are dark brow^n. The palpi are 

 bright yellow at the end and dark at the base. In alcohol the colors 

 appear dull and darker. 



The males, fig. 3f?, are much more brightly colored. The legs are 

 orange, darker toward the ends, with fine dark, longitudinal stripes. 

 The ends of the front tibia? are dark brown, and have long, brown 

 hairs on the inner and under side. The palpi are orange, darker 

 toward the end. The sides and hinder part of the cephalothorax are 

 orange, and there is a white line each side over the coxfe. The 

 upper part of the cephalothorax and abdomen are covered with 

 greenish yellow scales. On the front of the head are tufts of long 

 hairs, yellow, mixed with black, pointing forward and a little inward 

 between the middle and lateral eyes, fig. 3e. On the hinder end of 

 the abdomen is an iridescent purple spot. The abdomen is green on 

 the under side, and the sternum and coxa? are orange. In alcohol 

 the colors become dull yellow and brown. 



The mandibles of this species are slender, and the claw shoi't, and 

 strongly curved inward toward the point. In the male the mandibles 

 are a little longer, and have a slight notch on the inner side, one-third 

 their length from the end. Fig. Se. 



The epigynum is M'ide, with two anterior openings more than their 

 diameter apart, and the ])osterior notch is divided into two. Fig. 3A, 



The male palpi have the patella as wide as long, and the tibia still 

 shorter, Avith a very short and small hook on the outer side. Fig. 3«/. 

 The tube of the palpal orgau is twisted at the end, and has a 

 s]»herical base, partly covered by the softer part of the bulb. Fig, 

 3/". The male has the legs of the first pair much larger than the 

 others, and all the legs longer than the female. In the female the 

 fourth legs are longest. 



Some males have the (colors darker and the front legs less elongated 

 than usual, and do not have the black spot and black tuft of longer 

 hairs on the ends of the tibite. They also have the tufts of hair 

 over the eyes much smaller. Figs. 4, 4a. The palpal organs are a 

 little stouter. Figs. Ah, 4e. Specimens from the Adirondacks and 

 White Mountains are of this variety.
