The lateral and anterior border of the cephalothorax edged with silver except where 

 interrupted in front by a narrow median reddish brown stripe. Dorsum of cephalo- 

 thorax behind the eye tubercle marked by two transverse sutures thus giving three 

 distinguishable segments of which the posterior is broad and the one preceding it 

 very narrow. The dorsum of abdomen consists of nine segments including the 

 pygidium ; the ventral side, consists of seven segments including the hypopygidium ; 

 the sixth segment is nearly as wide as the fifth. 



The silvery white dorsal marking consists of a median stripe broken into spots 

 on the last three segments. On the dorsal aspect the borders of the segments are 

 marked by transverse bands of silvery white, enlarged laterally, and thus forming a 

 latero-dorsal row of spots. On the lateral aspect, between this row of spots and the 

 edge of the tergum,^ the ground color is broken by many obscure yellowish brown 

 spots ; edge of tergum with a narrow border of the same color. There are two 

 short erect spines on the anterior part of the first abdominal tergite. Each ventral

segment of the abdomen except the first armed with a single series of short black 

 spines ; the first segment with many similar spines not arranged in series ; each coxa 

 with a series of spines on the ventral surface. 



Ovipositor banded with light brown, the bands divided into half rings by a 

 longitudinal white line on each side. Each band has a single row of black hairs 

 borne on little white tubercles ; the branched portion darker with white tips and with 

 the hairs longer ; sheath of the ovipositor with granulations in rows crossing each 

 other at an oblique angle. 



Chelicerae light with a silvery reflection, darker above and on base of second 

 segment ; claws nearly black ; three small spines near the end of first segment 

 above and a few on distal end of second segment. 



Palpus light, darker above, trochanter with scattered stiff hairs below and a few 

 above, three long black -tipped spines on basal part of femur, two hairs near base of 

 first spine and one between second and third, a few stiff hairs on dorsal side ; the tip 

 has a projection on the inside covered by a number of strong setae. Patella, tibia and 

 tarsus clothed on the inside with strong setae, the outer surface also sparingly clothed 

 with weaker setse which become stronger on the tarsus.
