 and without hairs, a little lighter on the antero-dorsal portion but 

 with no distinct median stripe; a narrow black marginal line; 

 forehead yellowish ; the second and third eyes on black tubercles. 

 Sternum with a brown mai'gin, otherwise yellow like the inferior 

 surface of the coxse. Abdomen above dark greenish-b own, a nar- 

 row yellow median stripe pointed at each end on the anterior half 

 of the dorsum, and on either side of it two rows of large yellow 

 spots converging toward the spinnerets ; sides dark gi-eenish-browu 

 wilh numerous small yellow spots; venter yellow in front of and 

 around the lung books, this yellow area ending posteriorly in a 

 point anterior to the spinnerets, and to either side of it greenish-

Comparisons. — This species has some resemblance to L. nigra 

 (Stone), but differs from the latter in epigynum, form of sternum, 

 and coloration of abdomen and legs. The epigynum. is compara- 

 tively small and simple, but evidently mature since it is distinctly 

 elevated and dark colored.
