The male is 5 mm. long with the cephalothorax 3 mm. long. 
The colors are bright and the markings of the back sharply defined. 
The first legs are light, transparent green, and the other light portions 
pale fawn color. The green fades entirely in alcohol. The top of 
the head covering the whole area between the eyes is orange 
brown, and the dark markings are dark brown, almost black. The 
pattern can best be seen in the figures. The front legs have a 
narrow stripe of fawn color on the upper side dividing the green, 
the other legs and palpi are fawn color, broken along the sides by 
dark scales, forming parts of rings at the ends of the joints. The 
three inner spines of the front tibia are dark colored and flattened 
and two of them are long and spatulate, showing distinctly beyond 
the hairs. The patella of the third leg is widened and flattened 
and has a black and white eye spot and a black border under the 
eye spot, and just over the joint is a spine slightly turned up at 
the end. When the third legs are drawn up in the usual standing 
position, the modified patella show in front over the head. The 
face below the eyes is for a short distance dark brown and below 
this white. The mandibles are also white on the front. 
The female is slightly larger than the male, but the cephalothorax 
smaller. The color is dull orange brown, at first sight uniform, but 
showing indistinctly the same light and dark pattern as the male. 
The males mature about the first of May and the females a little 
later. The females are usually found under stones and the males 
moving about in dry paths in the woods in Hyde Park and Sharon, 
Mass. It has been found at several places across the country as 
far as California.

scales, and the color is modified by dark hairs and the yellow of the 
skin. The face and mandibles are covered with white scales, the 
mandibles indistinctly striped with black. 
The female is the same size as the male and resembles the female
