similarly colored broader stripes arise at the third pair of eyes aud, 

 arching backward ou the sides, unite dorsally behind the median 

 groove ; all these stripes composed of hairs which readily rub oft', 

 the thorax elsewhere being hairless; from each eye of the first roAV 

 a narroAv black stripe passes ventrad across the forehead and 

 nearly to the end of the chelicera; there are two small black spots 

 and, most dorsally, a short black stripe on each lateral margin of 

 the head ; the region between the second and thii'd eye rows is 

 blackish. Sternum yellow with blackish spots on the margins. 

 Abdomen above with a broad lancet-shaped mark, margined (espe- 

 cially posteriorly) by black, ending pointed at the middle of the 

 dorsum, this stripe is surrounded on each side by a narrower clear 

 yellow band, these two yellow bands joining just behind the middle 

 and continuing back to the spinnerets as a single median line, aud 

 this median yellow line is margined on each side by a blackish 

 stripe ; the remainder of the dorsum is yellow or yellowish-brown. 

 Sides of the abdomen streaked with black lines which continue 

 backward to the spinnerets, but do not extend anteriorly beyond 

 the trausverse plaue of the epigynum. Venter pale yellow or 

 orange, a longitudinal median black mark (with lighter centre) 

 in one specimen, in the other a pair of short parallel longitudinal 

 black stripes, in neither specimen do these black markings extend 

 along the whole extent of the venter behind the epigynum. 

 Epigynum nearly black. Chelicera aud maxillce pale yellow like 

 the sternum, labium darker. Legs pale greenish-yellow with black 

 spines, the ventral surface of femora I-III with a longitudinal 

 black line. Palpi coloi'ed like the legs, but with no black stripe.
