MALE. Epigynum : (Fig. 20) lateral elevations hemispherical, broad- 
ly in contact; no median elevation present, median concavity be- 
tween anterior areas of lateral elevations. Internal copulatory appa- 
ratus: (Fig. 21) bursae copulatrix small, located in central area of 
epigynum; fertilization tubes distinct, relatively short, composed of 
convolutions located in ventral area of epigynal cavity. 
Natural History. The labels with the museum specimens provided 
little information. An occasional reference to a stream and a single 
collection from the wall of a mine near water is all that is provided. 
The author has collected adults from southern Texas, where they 
were found near bodies of water, which is a similar habitat to that of 
Dolomedes. 
Egg sacs are in collections from Arizona and Texas, dated late 
July and early August. 
Distribution. Southwestern United States from southern Cali- 
fornia and Nevada through southern Texas to Missouri, and in 
northern Mexico from southern Sonora to Nuevo Leon. 
Material examined. Fifteen males, 52 females, and 34 immatures. 
Note: The state of the type locality, Hot Springs, Arkansas, 
may be in error. Arkansas seems to be outside the normal range for 
this species. There are other specimens from Hot Springs, Texas, 
which is within the range. It is suggested, then, that Texas may be 
the actual state of the type specimen.
