carapace and the femora of the legs very dark olivaceous brown, the 
2 longitudinal bands on the cephalic portion of the carapace and the

Carapace slightly longer than the metatarsus and tarsus of fourth 
leg, but a little shorter than tibia and metatarsus of first leg (in the 
younger examples longer than these segments of the first leg). 
Fovea more or less distinctly procurved or merely transverse. 
Chelicere with about 10 teeth in the inner row, the under side 
distinctly shorter than the sternum. 
Posterior spinners with the apical segment short, half or a little 
more than half as long as the penultimate segment. 
Labium with 2-5 apical teeth in 1-2 rows. Coxe of pedipalps- 
with a large basal area with 40-50 teeth. 
Legs asin the ? of H. sagittarius, but the inferior distal spine in 
metatarsi I and II often accompanied by 1 or 2 other spines, and 
patella III often with an additional spine on the anterior surface 
above or below the row of 3 spines.
