Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 409 
edges. The red color is encircled by black, which rises rather 
high on the base and sides and crosses in front of the spinner¬ 
ets. There are no basal and side hands of white or yellow ex¬ 
cepting in young specimens, so that this female comes nearer 
to ardens than to Johnsonii. Ardens, however, has brownish 
hairs on the cephalothorax. The legs are black, a little light¬ 
ened on some of the tarsi. 
We have this species from Iowa; from Martin Co., Kansas; 
from Palo Alto, from San Diego, and large numbers of both 
sexes, sent by Mr. Baker, from Claremont, California.

The male has a black cephalothorax thinly covered with 
brownish hairs, a uniform red abdomen, and white hairs on the 
palpus, above, as far as the end of the patella. The clypeus is 
dark, fringed with white hairs, the falces are green, and trans¬ 
versely rugose, and the legs are dark, obscurely barred, with 
thick white hairs under the patella and the proximal end of the 
metatarsus of the first. Under the tibia the hairs are black, thin 
and short. 
Mr. Emerton, who is familiar with the appearance of live 
females, says that some individuals have, indistinctly, the same 
markings on the abdomen as are seen in females of clarus, but 
that they differ in color and in the epigynum. In his examples 
the color is reddish brown with gray and black hairs and small 
gray scales, not close enough to cover the skin. The cephalo¬ 
thorax-is a little darker brown than the abdomen. The abdom¬ 
inal markings are indistinct in some individuals, and in most, 
entirely absent. In our collection are two female specimens 
of brunneus, in which the cephalothorax is dark brown and the 
abdomen light brown, with a thin covering of pale gray scales
