the. femur, patella, and tibia. The second leg is all pale. The third 
leg is pale excepting the femur, which is light rufous. The fourth leg 
has the femur rufus ; the proximal end of the patella pale ; the distal 
end of the patella, and the proximal end of the tibia, blackish, shading 
into pale at the distal end of the tibia ; and the metatarsus and tarsus 
pale. There are a few spine-like hairs on the tibia and metatarsus of 
the lirst and second legs. 
The abdomen has a deep constriction before the middle, posterior 
to which it is enlarged and rounded. The part before the constriction 
is pale rufous with a darker longitudinal band on the upper surface. 
Posterior to the constriction it is black, with a narrow pale band. 
The spinnerets are pale. 
The venter is pale in front, black posteriorly. 
FEMALE— Length, 5.4 mm.; width of abdomen, 1.8 mm.; length of ceph.th., 2.2 mm.; 
width of ceph.th., .7 mm. 
Legs, 2.7, 2.2, 2.8, 8.5. 
The abdomen has a slight constriction near the base, which is 
slender. Just behind the second and deeper constriction is a pale 
band, which is wider than in the male, occupying the anterior sides, 
and curving downward under the venter. 
The epigynum presents a raised plate, with a single opening at the 
posterior edge. The tubes, which are visible through the integument, 
take somewhat the form of a figure 3.

Observations. We find the falces short in the males, ns did Mr. 
Emerton. Ilentz is probably in error on this point. For a good

The cephalothorax is rather low and wide. The thoracic part is 
longer than the cephalic, and is separated from it by a distinct de- 
pression. The cephalic part is a little inclined; the thoracic, slopes 
abruptly to the base. The color is dark on tin* sides and base, while 
the upper surface is covered with short red hair, with longer black 
hairs scattered over it. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is wider than long, and plainly wider 
behind. The dorsal eye is as large as the lateral eye, and is placed
