3. The legs are darker at the ends of the joints and lighter in the 

 middle. The under side of the abdomen is light at the sides and 

 has a dark stripe in the middle. 



The male palpus has the tibia very short and the tibial hook is 

 long and slender and slightly thickened at the tip. The tube of the 

 palpal organ starts from the middle of the inner side of the bulb 

 and turns obliquely across the end of the tarsus. Near the end of 

 the tube but not quite reaching the tip is a short flat process. Figs.

Gray with white markings. On some the white marks are much 

 more definite than on others, the gray ground having very few white 

 scales mixed with it. I have usually found the spiders of this 

 variety about houses, while those from the country, living on plants, 

 have white as well as yellow scales largely mixed with the gray so as 

 to obscure the white markings. The field specimens are usually 

 more slender. 



The front of the head around and above the eyes is white. There 

 is a definite white stripe on each side of the cephalothorax and in the 

 middle of the cephalothorax two white spots one on each side of the 

 dorsal groove. On the abdomen there is a white stripe across the 

 anterior end and two oblique marks on each side. PI. XIX, fig. 2. 



The legs are gray with white rings not very distinctly marked and 

 the palpi white. The markings are very different from those of any 

 other species. 



The proportions of the body differ considerably in individuals 

 some appearing much longer and more slender than others. The 

 cephalothorax is about two-thirds as wide as long and the abdomen 

 usually about the same width and longer. 



The epigjnium is raised at the hinder edge, a little pointed and 

 with a round notch about as deep as wide. The anterior half is a 

 little narrowed and notched in the middle with a depression on each 

 side, in the bottom of which is a round hole. Fig. 2e. The shape of 

 the epigynum varies and in pale or freshly moulted females the 

 internal parts may be seen through the skin as shown in Peckham's 

 figure. 



The males differ but little in color and markings from the females, 

 but the palpi are large and the mandibles two-thirds as long as the 

 cephalothorax and turned forward almost horizontally. Fig. 2a, 2c.
