Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 413 
In the male tlie femur of the palpus is covered with white hairs, 
and the other joints with light brown hairs, hut in the female 
the whole palpus is covered with long white hairs which are 
tinged with red at the extremities of the patella and tibia. 
The legs are reddish with black bands at the ends of the 
joints, or sometimes wholly black. The first is heavily fringed 
with white throughout its length and has on the upper surface 
of the tibia, metatarsus and tarsus, and extending a little way 
on to the patella, a longitudinal band of scales which may be 
bright red, yellow, or white, and which is sometimes not clearly 
defined. The second leg has a lighter fringe and repeats the 
band of scales, having also on the inner face of the tibia, a dia¬ 
gonal yellow band. The white fringe is striking, in good speci¬ 
mens, but being very soft it is easily rubbed away. On the un¬ 
der surface of the femur of the first, in the male, the white 
fringe sweeps in a broad diagonal from the inner side, at the 
proximal end, to the outer proximal side, being divided by a 
dark line from the fringe that runs along the inner edge. 
This species is reported from Tort Collins, Colorado, by Mr. 
Banks and from Pennsylvania by Koch. Mr. Emerton has taken 
it in Massachusetts and on Mt. Madison, K. H. (5,000 ft.). 
We have it from the District of Columbia (Mr. Comstock) ; 
Wilmington, S. C.; Denver, Col.; Las Vegas, K. M.; Manhat¬ 
tan, Kansas (Mr. Scheffer). Insignarius is marked off from 
coccineus by notes under that species. 
The epigynum is almost exactly like that of Johnsonii from 
Duncan’s B. C., the only difference being that the anterior half 
of the shield is light colored. 
Mr. Emerton says that when the spider is alive the fringes 
are much fuller and softer than in examples that have been kept 
in alcohol.
