We have two males of this species, one of which is much the 
redder, having the cephalic plate and thoracic slope covered with 
red hairs, while the other has these parts rubbed bare except for 
a central white spot behind the dorsal eyes. Wide white bands 
begin at the dorsal eyes and pass back, but do not meet behind. 
Below these bands the sides are black. The abdomen is red, 
or pinkish, with a wide central black region, not reaching the 
base, notched on the edges, and split in the front part, the ends 
being divided by a red figure. In front of the spinnerets are 
two pairs of white bars, and the end of the dark region is metal¬ 
lic in the middle. There is a narrow white band low down on the 
base which runs far back, and is jagged on the inner edges. 
Scattered over the abdomen are many black hairs. The clypeus 
is fringed with whitish hairs. The falces are blue, and hairless. 
The palpus has above, a band of white hairs and scales reaching 
the end of the tarsus. The legs are dark brown, not heavy. 
The first is fringed with white to the end of the metatarsus. The 
femur of the first has a bunch of black and white hairs on the 
upper distal end of the inner face, and on the under surface 
the white hairs which cover the proximal end bifurcate in the 
middle of the joint to form two fringes, leaving between them a 
bare slightly iridescent space. 
In the female there is a white line over the front eyes, and 
then a black metallic region, as in Whitmanii. Back of this 
are red hairs which cover the cephalic plate and part of the thor¬ 
acic slope. The sides are not banded, but are entirely covered 
with white hairs, while the end of the thoracic slope is black. 
There are tufts in front of the dorsal eyes. The clypeus is cov¬ 
ered with white hairs, and the falces have the upper part reddish 
with scattering white hairs and the lower part iridescent blue. 
The abdomen is red with a dark central band nearly reaching 
the base, in the anterior part of which is a long white spot, while 
behind, on the outer edges, are two pairs of white bars. There 
is a white basal band which runs halfway along the sides, fol¬ 
lowed by another white band, jagged on the inner edges, which 
reaches nearly to the spinnerets. The palpi are yellowish with 
white hairs. The legs are reddish, barred with dark at the dis-
