 the third, 3; patella and tibia of the fourth, 4; metatarsus and tarsus

Anterior lateral separated from middle eyes by one-half their own diame- 

 ter. Middle nearly twice as large as lateral eyes, and a little sep- 

 arated. Clype us one-third as high as middle eyes. Maxillae long 

 inner margin obhque, $ with marked apophysis on outer corner, g 

 enlarged and blunt at extremity. Sternum nearly twice as long as 

 wide. Anterior coxse separated by less than the width of the labium. 



Coloration: Cephalothorax covered with bright red hairs excepting the 

 lower margin which has a white line above a black line; the ? has a 

 tuft of black hairs on the outer side of each lateral eye. Clypeus 

 with some long white hairs. Abdomen with a silvery white band at 

 base behind which is a deep black band; the dorsum is of a bright 

 red color, which is interrupted in the posterior two-thirds by a cen- 

 tral, longitudinal, angular, black band which is contracted behind, 

 upon which, in the posterior part, are two pairs of white dots; the 

 sides are black with two curved white bands. Palpi $ black, con- 

 spicuously marked by a silvery white line along the upper surface. 

 $ reddish with long white hairs. Falces brilHant iridescent green, 

 those of the S with a slight brownish tinge; fang black. Mouth- 

 parts dark brown. Sternum and coxae black with white hairs. Ven- 

 ter deep black with white hairs on the sides, and, in the center, a wide 

 somewhat triangular band (narrowing behind), of a clear silvery white 

 color. Legs banded with black and rufus. In the 3 the first leg has 

 fringes of black hairs; in the ? the same leg is covered with long 

 white hairs. 

 The hairs in this species seem to rub off even more easily than is usual with 

 the Attidae. When they are gone the spider appears as in Hentz's drawing. 

 Tn general appearance insolens is much like Pliilceus rimator, but may be 

 distinguished by the difference in the shape of the cephalothorax, and the 

 position of the eyes. 

 Habitat: Georgia, Florida, Colorado.
