Length, three-fourths of an inch. In its striations of colour along 

 the legs the species resembles the lineatus, but the striations are 

 fewer, but one of dark colour on the outer side, one below, one above, 

 and one on the inner side. The anterior region of the carapax is but 

 little oblong. The hands are nearly as in the cequabilis; but usually 

 less rough, the tubercles more like granules; the carpus is more 

 tuberculous than in the virescens, and less flattened than in the 

 cequabilis. In females, the hands are equal or very nearly so. Un- 

 like the virescens, the tarsi are nearly naked on the dorsal margin, 

 and the hairs below are shorter and fewer. 



The legs are more hairy than in the cequabilis, the eyes shorter and 

 less slender ; and the sides of the anterior region of the carapax have 

 more and longer hairs. In other respects, excepting the stripes of 

 colour, the species are very similar.

 the tarsus and tips of fingers whitish. The hands are small and
