The eyes are black; the lateral ones almoft concreted; the interior rather larger than the 
exterior. 
The legs, which are marked with alternate whitifh fpots, abound with whitifli hairs and 
black prickles. 
The thorax is ovate, black, flat, with a white margin, and is all over as if greyifli with 
white hairs. 
The abdomen is ovate, black, and remarkable for a foliaceous marking, {haded as it were 
by a filky web, which the figure better expreffes than words. It is connected at about a third 
of its length with the thorax ; yellow femi-circles furround the fexual organ beneath. 
The arms are covered with unequally long hairs, briftles, and prickles. 
The holders are perpendicular, black, 'and towards the eyes {lightly hirfute. 
About the middle of June, a male was taken in a web, on the precipice of a mountain. 
Plate I, fig. 7. Black lines drawn tranfverfely over the abdomen, and two angles on the 
upper part of it, diftinguilh this particularly, I dare not aifirm certainly whether it be a 
diftinff fpecies, or whether it belong (which, however, I doubt) to one of thofe already 
defcribed. In the mean time, it is here fet down without a number, under the title of 
virgatuSy ftriped. 
1'he eyes are very fmall; the two lafl: fide ones fmalleft, and almofl: joined to thofe next 
them. 
The legs are alternately girt with black and greyilh circles, and are coated with unequal 
hairs and briftles: they alfo abound with prickles. 
The thorax is ovate, flat, darkifh, and thickly coated with white down. 
The abdomen is ovate, although two remarkable angles, which form a flattifh fpace on the 
upper part, give it a triangular figure. Through the angles runs a thicker and blacker line, 
marked in the middle with a white dot. White waves feem to tend obliquely towards each 
fide. The thoracic jun6fure is fixed at about a third part of the abdomen. 
The arms of the male are ovate, black, and unequally hirfute, and terminate in the 
fexual organs. 
The holders are black, hairy, and perpendicular, with blackifli hooks.
