1986] Brady — Ne arc tic Gladicosa 
abdomen orange-brown to dark brown. Central area somewhat 
lighter. 
Legs yellow-orange to orange-brown, somewhat lighter ventrally, 
without darker bands. 
Labium and endites yellow-orange to dark reddish brown, with 
distal ends pale yellow to cream. Sternum yellow to reddish 
orange-brown. 
Measurements. Ten females and ten males from Georgia and 
Florida. 
Diagnosis. Gladicosa huberti is closest to G. bellamyi in body 
size and shape of the epigynum, but resembles G. gulosa in colora- 
tion and structure of the male palpus. Gladicosa huberti is lighter in 
color than bellamyi and smaller in size than gulosa. It may be dis- 
tinguished from either of these species by comparing the epigynum 
(Figs. 19, 20) to bellamyi (Figs. 22, 23, 25, 26) or gulosa (Figs. 6, 
8, 9) and the palpus (Figs. 27, 28) to bellamyi (Figs. 29-34) ox gulosa 
(Figs. 35, 36). 
Natural History. Nothing concerning the natural history of this 
species is reported in the literature. I have collected it in leaf litter 
near the edge of woods in Georgia and in a marshy area near the 
edge of a pond beneath a pine tree canopy in Florida. The great 
majority of the adult specimens were collected from February 
through April (see Records below).
