This is a modest little crab spider, smaller than any of the species ordi- 

 narily considered as common. 

 Female. — Length, 4-5 mm. ; width of cephalothorox, 2 mm. ; width of ab- 

 domen, 3 mm. First and second pairs of legs stout, the tibia^ and 

 metatarsi armed with two rows of spines set along the anterior margin. 

 The corresponding joints in the legs of the third and fourth pairs show 

 a few weak spines on the under surface. The middle area of the 

 cephalothorax is yellow, brightest near the base. In the central longi- 

 tudinal line is a barrowing streak of brown running back from a point 

 between the posterior median eyes. On either side of this streak is a 

 broader stripe of brown, ending, a short distance in front of the poste- 

 rior margin, in an enlarged portion curved slightly outward. Still 

 farther out, conforming to the outward curve of the cephalothorax, is a 

 broad stripe of brown bordered laterally by a narrow line of yellow. 

 On the extreme lateral margin is a hair-line of brown. The ground 

 color of the abdomen is dark brown. There is a narrow central stripe 

 of dirty yellow and three broad transverse bands of about the same 

 color. The portion of the dorsal region not occupied by these bands is 

 punctate with yellow. The legs are yellowish brown, the former color 

 predominating on the proximal joints, the latter on the tibite, metatarsi, 

 and tarsi. The third and fourth pairs of legs are lighter in general 

 than the first and second pairs. Scattered over the abdomen and aleo 

 on the front of the head and on the pedipalps are numerous stubby 

 hairs, some of them enlarged, at the end so as to be almost clavate. 

 This spider is a pronounced type, but not common. Several females 

 were taken under rocks near Manhattan, in June. In this situation 

 they were guarding their egg sacks.
