Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 431 
die, above, is a white triangle, with a pair of white dots in 
front and another behind. Aear the end, extending upward, on 
each side, from the encircling band, is an oblique white bar. 
The middle posterior part is brownish, and shows, under alco¬ 
hol, a series of chevrons. The markings are more or less ob¬ 
scured by a growth of long white and tawny hairs over the 
upper surface. The palpi are reddish with white hairs. The 
legs are banded with light and dark brown. Above the femur 
of the first are thick tawny hairs, and under all the legs are 
fringes of mixed tawny and white hairs. 
Our single specimen is from Texas.

In 1888 we described the female of this species from very 
badly rubbed specimens. In 1901 we described what we thought 
was the perfect form of both male and female, but examples 
received since that time prove that the 1888 species is distinct 
from that of 1901, and to the latter we now give the name caro- 
linensis. We have as yet no male and no perfect example of 
the female of obscurus.

White hairs cover the sides of the cephalothorax and grow 
above the front row of eyes. Back of this the upper surface of the 
cephalic and thoracic parts is rubbed, but shows a dark integu¬ 
ment, more or less covered with yellow hairs, which thicken to 
form a crescent between the dorsal eyes. It is probable that 
these hairs, in perfect specimens, cover the upper surface, and 
it may be that their color was originally red. The clypeus is 
covered with white hairs, and the falces, which are bluish-green 
below, have white hairs above. The palpi and legs are reddish 
with white hairs.
