that reaches line of dorsal eyes, area each side bright yellow, 
a wide lateral dark spot each side, margins yellow, a fringe of 
long dark hairs above anterior eye row, widest between second 
pair of legs, sides almost parallel, cephalic portion high, thoracic 
falling abruptly on posterior two-fifths; eyes , anterior row 
straight by upper margins, a.l.e. about half a diameter of a.m.e., 
eyes of second row very small, and nearer first than third row, 
eyes of third row on margin, eye area occupies about one-third 
of carapace; quadrangle as wide behind as in front; abdomen 
black with a narrow pale basal band that extends on sides, a 
narrow median pale stripe which does not reach either end of 
abdomen, and two short oblique pale bars from the sides that 
extend only a short distance on the dorsum, a pair of widely 
separated white dots above the spinnerets, venter pale with 
three dark stripes; legs , 3-4-1-2, pale, with distal joints darker, 
third leg not modified and no fringes on first pair, spines, I pair, 
patella, prolateral, 1, tibia, ventral, 2 distal, followed by 1 pro- 
lateral, 1-1 retrolateral, metatarsus, ventral, 2-2, twice the 
diameter of the joint, II pair, spines same as on I pair but 
smaller, III pair, femur, ventral, at distal end, short prolateral 
and retrolateral rows of long stiff bristles, (may be tricho- 
bothria), no ventral median spine on tibia; palpus , femur pale, 
tibial apophysis a very slender black spur with tip constricted 
in an out turned hook, palpal organ typical, with inner process 
starting about the middle and ending about half way on the 
side, outer process staring on side above the tibial apophysis, 
following the contour of the cavity and ending at the tip, more 
slender than the inner process. 
Holotype, $ Florida; Sebastian, 1-7 April 1944, (Nelson). 
The type and an immature male and female were collected at 
Sebastian, Florida in April by Mr. Nelson, probably by beating. 
All have the same markings. The species is related to Habro- 
nattus delectus (Peckham), known only from the type ma- 
terial of two males and a female found at Austin, Texas. It is 
separated from that species by the slightly larger size, darker 
legs, different spining of the first tibia and the tibial apophysis 
of the male palpus. Both have the three spots of white hairs 
in the eye area, a rather unusual character in this genus, but 
the posterior margin of the dark area between the dorsal eyes 
of H. delectus is transverse, while in H. trimaculatus it is deeply 
emarginate, and the tibial apophysis of delecus is broadly trun-
