9. Cephalothorax, 14'^ mm. long, 11-2 mm. broad; abdomen, 16"4 

 long, 14!*8 mm. broad. 



The example selected for the type of this variety agrees in every 

 particular except size and abdominal ornamentation witli the typical form. 

 The abdomen is obovate, well arched, slightly overhanging base of cephal- 

 othorax, hairy, chocolate-brown, relieved on the superior surface by a 

 series of eight large 3'elloAv patches, arranged in pairs below the last of 

 which there are two transverse bars near the spinnerets ; in addition to 

 these, numerous yellow spots are present. In fact, the yellow markings 

 are so prominent and distinctive that a varietal denomination appears 

 necessary, and so it is named as above. 



Oh?. — Several specimens, all females, in various stages of development 

 were obtained. The subspecies, fluvomacuJata, shows considerable vari- 

 ation both in abdominal ornamentation and size.
