Legs testaceous, without markings excepting tibia IV, which is banded at each end 
with black, and metatarsus IV, which is darkened at the extreme tip. Sternum, coxe 
and abdomen beneath solid black. Labium and endites black, pale across tip. Cheli- 
cere brown to bright chestnut. Abdomen above testaceous to yellow with a dark 
spear-shaped outline over basal part and ending on a chevron mark behind middle, 
this followed by a few other chevrons; a number of oblique lines extending out from 
basal mark on each side. A black band across each anterolateral corner and extending 
along the side where it breaks into streaks and spot; light areas of abdomen clothed 
with yellow hair. Upper margin of furrow of chelicere armed with three teeth; the 
lower margin also with three teeth with are stout and subequal. Anterior row of 
eyes much shorter than the second, distintly procurved, median eyes their radius or 
slightly less apart, an equal distance from the lateral eyes which are decidedly smaller, 
Lateral eyes scarcely their diameter from lower margin of clypeus, an equal distance 
from eyes of second row. Eyes of second row less than their diameter apart. Quad- 
rangle of posterior eyes comparatively long, the cephalothorax being less than three 
and a half times as long. 
Spines beneath tibie long and distally very fine. Epigynum small, of form shown

This species suggests L. concolor Banks of Lower California. It is a smaller 
species distinguishable in having tib. + pat. IV shorter than the cephalothorax instead 
of clearly longer; in having a black band at both ends of tib. IV instead of only at 
one end; in not having the femora, metatarsi and tarsi black beneath, etc. 
Pardosa tuoba sp. nov. 
Female—In the types the body is dark throughout, in life clothed with grey hair; 
the median dorsal stripe of carapace obscure. Legs black excepting tarsi and meta- 
tarsi, which are dull brown, the latter with three black annuli; sometimes the proximal 
joints also show the paler color in spots and streaks or in part may be somewhat 
annulate. Sternum solid black. Abdomen with integument black above excepting an 
obscure pale mark at base; also black laterally, but the venter paler though with a 
deep black band between epigynum and spinnerets; venter in life clothed densely with 
grey hairs, the dorsum with grey and reddish intermixed with some black. Anterior 
row of eyes slightly procurved, much shorter than the second row; median eyes their 
diameter apart, not fully half as far from the four-fifths as large laterals; the latter 
twice their diameter from the edge of the clypeus and decidedly more than their 
diameter from the eyes of second row. Eyes of second row fully their diameter, or 
slightly more, apart. Two first pairs of spines of anterior tibie and metatarsi long, 
slender, overlapping as usual. Armature of chelicere typical. Epigynum of the 
sternalis type, but with the expanded quadrate posterior end of septum completely 
filling the posterior cavity, or nearly so, as shown in pl. 6, f. 3. 
Length, 6 mm. Length of cephalothorax, 3 mm. Length of tib. + pat. I, 2.8 mm.; 
of tib. + pat. 1V, 3 mm.
