Plate 22, fig. 5. 
Carapace dusky brown with a clear yellow stripe along each side 
above a black marginal line that completely encircles the carapace; 
a lighter median longitudinal area on head back of eyes this narrowing 
caudad and enclosing a black line over and back of each posterior 
median eye; a black line from clypeus over each anterior median eye 
and extending back across each posterior lateral eye. Sternum black; 
a narrow interrupted yellow marginal line, a very narrow median 
yellow line from anterior margin to middle and on each side a series of 
three small yellow dots converging caudad where there is a median 
spot. Labium and endites dusky over a yellow background, pale 
across tips. Legs yellow; a heavy black annulus on femora just dis- 
tad of middle, one at proximal end of tibia and one near each end of 
metatarsus. Tarsus of palpus witha distinct black ring at proximal 
end, the tibia also with an interrupted narrower line across proximal 
end and small spots across distal; patella and femur also with small 
black dots. Abdomen in general yellow; above with a narrowly 
deltoid dark brown mark at middle, this continuing forward from its 
apex in a narrower median stripe which expands at the base into a 
mark of lanceolate form with apex cephalad. Anterior portion of 
sides brown, each band followed caudad toward spinnerets by a 
number of brown spots, some of which unite in several lines across 
dorsum in front of spinnerets. Venter with a median longitudinal 
brown stripe which is broadest caudad, is broken across middle, and 
extends to the genital furrow; on each side of this with scattered 
small dots, some of which are arranged in lines, (Plate 22, fig. 5). 
Posterior row of eyes decidedly procurved, a line tangent to anterior 
1 roixidos, spotted.
