females had 1-2-2 spines, five had 1-1-2, and two females had 1-2-2 
on one leg and 1-1-2 on the other leg. Tibial spination in three males 
was the same as in S. calif ornicus except for 1-1 dorsal spines on leg 
III and IV in S. florid anus. 
Clypeus height in nine females is greater than the diameter of the 
AME, in seven females clypeus height is subequal to the diameter of 
the AME. In the three males examined clypeus height is subequal to 
the diameter of the AME. 
Labium longer than wide in 14 females, length equal to width in 
two females. In the three males the labium is longer than wide. 
Color. Female. Pattern illustrated in Figure 1. Carapace dark 
brown, overlaid with black pubescence, black in eye region. Narrow 
median longitudinal white stripe beginning at second eye row and 
continuing to the posterior edge of carapace. Broad submarginal white 
stripes originating at edge of clypeus and running to the posterior edge 
of carapace. The white color of these stripes is due to presence of 
short appressed white hairs. The fine white hairs and the black pubes- 
cence provide contrasting pattern illustrated. If these hairs become 
rubbed off the underlying integument is almost unicolorous, the 
regions of the white stripes may remain somewhat lighter, however. 
Chelicerae black with stout black hairs, lighter orange brown boss 
on each side. Sternum brownish yellow. Endites and labium reddish 
brown, lighter at distal ends. Coxae light brownish yellow on ventral

Abbreviations: S, seminal receptacle; B, copulatory bursa; P, copulatory 
pouch (usually not heavily sclerotized) ; L, dorsal bursal ligament (difficult 
to see unless the epigynum is tipped on edge). The route of this ligament is 
difficult to trace, due to its transparency, and inaccuracy in its placement in 
the drawings might occur, since it can hardly be seen from a dorsal view.
