marginal stripes beginning in cephalic region and continuing to 
posterior declivity. 
Dorsum of abdomen wrinkled in these specimens, pale orange- 
yellow with abundance of white appressed hairs giving it an ivory 
appearance. Indistinct brownish markings in cardiac region and along 
sides. Venter cream colored to ivory with abundant close-packed, 
flattened white hair. 
Legs cream to ivory without darker markings. 
Labium and endites ivory. Sternum ivory with four pairs of dark, 
brownish spots laterally and a single one posteriorly. 
Diagnosis. Oxyopes artemis is most closely related to O. apollo 
among the members of the apollo species group (see Text Figure i). 
It is readily distinguished from O. apollo by the structure of the 
epigynum (compare Figs. 13-15 of this paper with figs. 47, 48 of 
Brady, 1964). In O. artemis the epigynum is larger and relatively 
broader than in O. apollo. The much lighter color of O. artemis 
also distinguishes it from O. apollo throughout most of the latter’s 
range. Specimens of O. apollo from Oaxaca, Mexico, however, re- 
semble O. artemis in color.

Discussion. Chamberlin and Ivie (1944) redescribed and figured 
what they considered to be the neotype of Sphasus lanceolatus , a 
name based upon Abbot’s drawing number 42 in the “Spiders of the 
Georgia Region” (see Brady, 1964, 439-442). Figure 42 of Abbot’s 
is not the species described as Oxyopes lanceolatus by Chamberlin 
and Ivie. Compare Text Figure 2 with Figure 2, page 429. The 
color pattern in Abbot’s Figure 42 is close to that of O. scalaris 
Hentz, but also resembles O. aglossus, and O. acleistus. Also, if 
Abbot’s drawings are to be considered accurate, the robust fourth pair 
of legs, characteristic of Oxyopes cougar , are not evident. Instead the 
first pair of legs are longer and more strongly developed as are those
