Brown to black, mostly unmarked, some pale spots at edge of each segment of 
the female abdomen, and a few pale spots on femur and tibia I; legs uniform pale 
brown. ‘The armature of femur | is similar 
to that of the other species; the long spine 
is nearly twice the diameter of the joint at 
this point; coxa I is about as long as the 
prothorax. ‘The mesonotum* shows three i) 
rarinee, and less distinctly one each side. 
The tip of the female abdomen is barely 
emarginate; one male has brown wings cov-

These specimens are black, with only faint traces of pale spots. Other speci- 
mens from Sea Cliff, N. Y., and Falls Church, Va., are paler brown, the spots on 
abdomen distinct, and the femur I rather stouter in the middle, and the prothorax is 
shorter; but the tip of the abdomen is the same. ‘These may be called Barce uhleri 
rar. brunnea; their length is 8.5 mm.

This species is very distinct by the several dark bands on the femora; femur I 
shows several dark spots beneath. Young specimens have the legs even more dis- 
tinctly banded than the adults. I have never seen a winged specimen. Specimens 
are before me from Sea Cliff, and Ithaca, N. Y., from Falls Church, Va., and from 
Shreveport, La. It is usually taken in dry meadows.

This is our largest species of the genus. The immature specimens do not us- 
ually show the dark preapical band to the femora, but the fully colored ones have it
