Map 1. Collection localities for Pardosa bellona (squares), P. delicatula (stars), 
P. hamifera (half-circles), P. littoralis (circles). 
Diagnosis. Specimens of P. delicatula most resemble those of P. 
bellona and P. hamifera but differ by the sharp, hooked point on the 
conductor, by the bent embolus, and by the concealment of the 
lateral angles of the median septum by curved ridges. 
Range. Oklahoma and Mississippi south to Chihuahua and 
Nuevo Leon, Mexico. 
Natural History. Males and females have been collected in every 
month except January, and females with egg sacs were taken from 
April to October. Common habitats are pastures and other 
grasslands, where they are taken in numbers by pitfall trap; one 
large collection was taken by sweep net in Louisiana sweet potato 
fields at night.
