appears black. The abdomen is white with a middle gray band 
broken at the edges by spots and indentations. The legs are white 
with black spots at the ends of the joints. 
The epigynum is large for so small a spider and is at the end 
of the first third of the abdomen. It has two large spermathecze 
that show through the skin, and two small openings in front of them. 
Hyctia Pikei, Pkm. Trans. Wisconsin Acad., 1888. (Plate XI, 
fisunes-7,. 7. C:) 
Cephalothorax and abdomen both elongated and narrow, whole 
length 6 to 8 mm., cephalothorax 2.5 to 3 mm. Abdomen 1.5 to 
2mm. wide; cephalothorax two-thirds as wide as long, a little 
wider in males than in females. The second, third and fourth legs 
are short and slender, but the first pair are thickened in both sexes, 
in the females twice as long as the cephalothorax, and in the males 
longer. The color is light gray with brown markings. In females 
the cephalothorax has three light brown longitudinal stripes, two 
extending the whole length from the lateral eyes and a middle 
stripe on the hinder half only. The abdomen has three fine stripes 
or rows of spots, sometimes forming a broken wide middle stripe. 
In males the whole middle of the abdomen has a wide brown 
middle band partly divided into triangular spots. Young individuals 
sometimes have no markings at all and are greenish in color like 
the sand grass in which they live. When approaching the female 
the male raises his front legs stiffly upward at an angle of sixty 
degrees with each other, and lifts the abdomen slightly, walking 
on the six short legs. 
The sternum is half as wide as long and pointed at both ends, 
and the first and fourth coxz are close together and may touch 
each other. The epigynum has a simple oval opening with a 
thickened edge in front. The male palpi are very short; the patella 
is as long as wide, and the tarsus is shorter, but with a thick 
pointed process on the outer side, as long as the rest of the tibia. 
The tarsus is curved downward and has a ridge along the outer 
side, the part below which is smooth, with few and short hairs. 
The bulb of the palpal organ projects at the base in a long blunt point. 
Common on sand grass along the sea shore.
