d^. Length, 4.3 mm.; $,5.5 mm. Legs, 3142, the first very 
little stouter than the others. In the male the legs of the first 
pair are fringed, and those of the third pair have an enlargement 
on the patella. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is one-third wider than long and is 
wider behind than in front. The first row of eyes is straight, 
the middle eyes subtouching, and less than twice as large as the 
lateral, which are separated from them. The clypeus is nearly as 
wide as the middle eyes. 
In the male the cephalic plate is covered with hairs of a soft 
fawn-color tinged with reddish, and is limited, behind, by a ridge 
and a scalloped yellowish-white band. The sides of the ceph- 
alothorax and the middle of the thoracic slope, are velvety black. 
A wide white band runs back from each dorsal eye to the posterior 
margin, and then curves forward and passes along the lower side 
as far as the dorsal eye. Around the lower margin is a black 
line with a narrow white line above it. The abdomen has velvety 
black bands on the sides of the dorsum, on each of which, near 
the posterior end, is a white dot. There is a wide encircling 
white band, which sends up an oblique band in the anterior part, 
and down the center" is a wide white band which is enlarged in 
the middle to form an arrow-shaped mark. The first legs, in 
life, are of a tender green color, the others yellowish with white 
scales. The first has, on the outer under side of the femur, a 
thick fringe of white, continued in a thin fringe which is short 
on the patella and long on the tibia. The tibia has also some 
long white hairs, and two black spines on the inner side. The 
third leg has the patella enlarged at the distal end, and has a 
short curved apophysis which extends over the tibia. The front
