basal band, a central triangular spot, and two pairs of bars far¬ 
ther back. Besides these marks, red hairs are scattered here 
and there over the surface. The palpus has a white band, above, 
on the femur and patella, and the tube is sickle-shaped and very 
characteristic. The legs have all the femora darker than the 
other joints, and all the patella light at the proximal and dark 
at the distal ends. In the first leg the tibia, metatarsus and tar¬ 
sus are dark, but the other legs have these joints light at the 
proximal and dark at the distal ends. The first leg is fringed 
with black and white, the white being under the end of the fe¬ 
mur, throughout the length of the patella, and at the proximal 
ends of the metatarsus and tarsus. 
In the female the cephalothorax is red on the upper surface, 
the sides and thoracic slope being black. The abdomen, as in 
the male, has two forms, being sometimes of a uniform red on 
the dorsum, or, in some cases, with a small black A, pointing 
up, just above the spinnerets, a faint white basal band, and one 
white diagonal on each side; while others, as in the type, have 
the basal band and diagonals yellowish, and are marked with 
a wide central black band which reaches from the spinnerets to 
a point in front of the middle. This band is sometimes broader 
in the middle then at the ends, and is notched on the edges by 
three pairs of red bars. In the all red form the legs are dark 
with gray hairs, lightened a little, only at the proximal ends 
of the metatarsi and tarsi, but in the other they are lighter, all 
the joints being light at the proximal ends. The venter is 
brown marked by rows of white points. The palpus has black 
hairs and is marked with a white band on top, which is accentu¬ 
ated at the end of each joint. Two females, one of which be¬ 
longs to Mr. Banks, have four red spots on top of the palpus. 
The falces, in both sexes, are metallic green. 
One of the drawings of the epigynum is made from the red 
specimen, which has the abdomen distended with eggs. In 
other examples the indistinct darkened parts behind the middle 
are shown to consist of coiled tubes which run towards the pos¬ 
terior part. The second figure is from the specimen which we 
described as bardus, in 1901, and shows a peculiarly notched
