half as long as maxillae, contracted and rounded at tip. Sternum 

 oval, half longer than wide. Anterior coxae separated by width of 

 labium. No j)atellary spines. 



2 . Total length 12.2 mm. Width of abdomen 3.9 mm. 

 Cephalothorax: length 4.3; width 2.8; height 2.1. 



Legs 10.4, 8.4, 8.4, 11.1; patella and tibia of the first, 4.3; patella and tibia of 

 the third, 3.6; patella and tibia of the fourth, 4.5; metatarsus and 

 tarsus of the fourth, 3.5. 

 Clypeus one-third as high as middle eyes. Maxillge rounded. Sternum 

 relatively wider than in & . Anterior coxae separated by less than 

 the width of the labium. 

 Coloration: $ . Cephalothorax jet black, sometimes with a few short 

 bright red hairs (perhaps, in a fresh state, entirely covered with 

 these). Abdomen bright vermillion red, sometimes with a white 

 band at base; clyi^eus dark with a fringe of white hairs; palpus 

 black; falces dark but ii'i descent; maxillae and labium brown; ster- 

 num black with white hairs; venter dark bro%vn with white hairs; 

 legs dark ruf us barred with black. ? . Abdomen with a white 

 band at base, and a wide central longitudinal black band, iipon

 This species is nearest cardinalis ; it is, however, not so high; its color is 

 crimson rather than scarlet; and on the anterior inner edge of the falx is a 

 sharp, rather long point, which in cardinalis is but little developed. The 

 cephalothorax in cardinalis is covered with scarlet hairs, in johnsonii it is 

 jet black. The latter also has on the palpi of the first pair of legs many 

 wliite, rice-like scales or hairs. 

 Habitat : Washington Territory.
