black transverse band. At the base is a black spot. Extending from 
near the base to a point in front of the dorsal eye is a light colored 
median, longitudinal line, which is crossed, behind the dorsal eyes, by 
an indistinct short transverse light line- On each side, passing below 
the dorsal eyes, is an indistinct, light, longitudinal line. The lower 
margin has a narrow line of black, just above which is a narrow band 
of white hairs, as in the male. 
The palpus is pale, covered with white hairs, and having a fringe 
of black hairs at the extremity. 
The legs are varied with rufous and black. 
The abdomen is reddish on the base and anterior sides, the pos- 
terior sides and apex being whitish. Near the base, and close to- 
gether, are two large, black spots, in the middle of each of which is a 
small white dot. The black spots narrow into bands, and curve out- 
ward, and then inward again, enlarging into two posterior spots 
which are joined in the middle by a short, transverse black band, 
which curves forward. The central region thus enclosed is whitish, 
having a darker spot in the middle. Posteriorly, and growing smaller 
toward the apex, there are three black spots, the anterior and largest 
of which lies within the curve of the short transverse band which 
unites the posterior spots. The spinnerets are reddish. 
The epigynum presents a plate twice as wide as long, with a curved 
opening at the posterior edge.

The eephalothorax is low and Hat; the thoracic part is longer than 
the cephalic; in color it is jet black, probably originally covered with 
mixed gray and tawny hairs. The lower narrow margin is black, and 
above this is a band of white hairs. Another white band, which is a 
continuation of the white color of the clypeus, extends around the 
anterior sides, midway between the dorsal eyes and the lower white 
band. The fovea is deep. 
The quadrangle of the eyes is wider than long, and is not wider 
behind. The dorsal eye is as large as the lateral eye, and is on a 
line with it. The small median eye is equidistant from the dor- 
sal and lateral eyes, and is on a line with their upper borders. The
