Legs well supplied with relatively long hairs. The few spines are 
long and slender. Some of the curled hairs on the fourth femora have 
been broken off but there appear to be two rows of eight or nine in 
each row; these are in longitudinal rather than oblique rows as seen 
in Leucauge and extend nearly throughout the proximal half of the 
prolateral surface of the segment. 
Palp. Both patella and tibia are short as shown in the table above. 
The cymbium has three unusual spines, two near the distal end and 
one near middle. The most important features are shown in Figures 
1-3. 
Abdomen. About 1 mm. long; only slightly overlapping the 
carapace; about .8 mm. wide near posterior end where it is widest; 
about .8 mm. tall ; closely resembles the abdomen of the female. 
Color in alcohol. Cephalothorax, legs, and mouth parts all yel- 
lowish white with variations. Grayish flecks occur on several parts 
but their distribution is too irregular for description. Abdomen : 
basically yellowish white ; with many silvery flecks on the dorsolateral 
and lateral surfaces; the middorsal region is free from the silvery 
flecks; there is a relatively large silvery spot on each side on the 
posterior surface dorsal and lateral to the spinnerets, less conspicuous 
in the male than in the female but still distinctive; the whole pos- 
terior end is light grayish except for the silvery spots but is probably 
quite deeply colored in some males as in certain females in the col- 
lection ; the venter is generally yellowish white with a conspicuous 
transverse spot near the middle which is composed of a group of bright 
silvery flecks. 
Female. The fang groove has three relatively robust teeth on the
