$ . Length, 12-13 mm. Legs 4123, first pair stoutest. 
The cephalothorax is deep reddish-brown in color entirely 
covered with short white hairs which have a slightly yellowish 
tinge on the top and sides, hut are snowy around the front eyes. 
The clypeus is fringed with white. The falces are brownish 
just at the top, but otherwise are green and very brilliantly iri¬ 
descent. A few long white hairs grow on the inner edges. 
The base and sides of the abdomen are brown marked with white 
bands. On the front middle part is a branching white figure 
from which a central white band, notched on the edges and 
forked at the end, runs back to a point somewhat in front of the 
spinnerets. On either side of this is a black band, marked 
toward the end, with two white bars. These black bands meet 
behind. The legs are reddish brown with white scales and are 
fringed with white. The femur of the first has black hairs 
above, and the tibia of the first has the distal half much dark¬ 
ened, almost black. The palpi are much lighter and are well 
ornamented with fringes of hair. 
We do not find the golden scales on the falces, mentioned by 
Mr. Banks. 
Mr. Banks has it from Brazos Co., Texas, and our specimens 
come from the same state. Mr. Scheffer has found it in Kansas*
