slightly larger and very slightly higher. Eyes of second row

Form. — Superior spinnerets about If times the length of the 

 inferior. Cephalothorax in front less than one-third its greatest 

 transvei-se diametei', highest at the anterior edge of the median 

 groove. Chelicera about 1^ times the height of the head in front. 

 Sternum little longer than broad. Legs rather stout.

Color in Alcohol, ? ?. — Cephalothorax reddish-brown, a narrow 

 buff band from between the second pair of eyes to the dorsal 

 groove, a broader buff band on each side arising at the posterior 

 eye, with its fellow of the opposite side converging back to the 

 sides of the median groove, where the three buff bands unite and 

 pass caudad as one median band to the end of the thorax ; a 

 broader submargiual buff line is present in some specimens, but in 

 most there is no trace of it; eye region black. Sternum yellowish, 

 its margins darker, usually a median broad light baud bordered 

 by narrow lines of darker. Abdomen pale yellowish- brown, a 

 little darker above ; on the dorsum a lancet-shaped yellowish mark 

 bordered on each side by a broAvn line and ending in a point at 

 the middle, and with more or less distinctness about five transverse 

 brown arches behind it and extending to the spinnerets where they 

 are smallest, and in some specimens lighter spots at the lateral ends 

 of these transverse markings; on each side, close to the spinnerets, 

 a dark mark, sometimes black and very distinct, sometimes very 

 indistinct, and sometimes ventrally connected with its fellow by a 

 transverse dark baud just anterior to the spinnerets; venter pale 

 yellowish-brown, lightest in the mid-line but without markings. 

 Epigynum blackish -red, spinnerets like the venter. Chelicera pale
