The cephalothorax is covered with hairs which are fawn- 

 colored on the cephalic plate, and white or brownish-white on 

 the sides and the thoracic part. The clypeus is covered with 

 long white hairs. The abdomen is covered with fawn-colored 

 hairs, the lower sides having some oblique, rather indistinct, 

 white bands. Along the upper sides are two black scallops, 

 more distinct in some specimens than in others. On the cen- 

 tral posterior part are some white chevrons, outlined in black. 

 On each side, the scalloped black line runs doAvn and meets the 

 black line at the sides of the chevrons, making a distinct point. 

 Close to the spinnerets are two parallel white bars which some- 

 times join with the last chevron to make a somewhat horse-shoe 

 shaped mark. The legs and palpi are reddish brown with 

 white hairs.
