green iridescent scales; tlie sides with white. The abdomen 
above is covered with iridescent scales varying from green to 
coppery, with pinkish reflections. The white basal hand extends 
back as far as the first third, and is followed by a large spot 
and two smaller spots; the latter sometimes unite. The pos¬ 
terior spots join just above the spinnerets. There are three 
pairs of spots on the dorsal area, the posterior pair are often 
elongated and take a transverse direction. The part in front 
and behind each spot looks black. The markings may be white, 
dull yellow", or orange in color, or two of these colors. Under 
part of body light or dark brown. Legs, palpi and falces red- 
brown, with the distal ends of the tibiae of the first, second, and 
fourth dark or black. All these parts are more or less covered 
with yellowish hairs. In some specimens the basal band is 
wide and extends to the spinnerets without breaking into spots. 
The specimen in our collection which we identify as multi¬ 
color of Hentz, is from North Carolina. The white on the side 
of the cephalothorax is only a band and does not extend down to 
the margin, otherwise it is like the common form of, chrysis. 
The cephalothorax is not as much rounded out as in the usual 
form.
