and 2 single ones with 1 anterior lateral; met. I, II 2-2. Falces 
sometimes oblique, sometimes vertical. 
The male is a yellowish-brown or bronze-brown spider with 
white marks. The cephalothorax has white bands along the 
upper sides, a transverse white band on the cephalic plate be¬ 
tween the eyes of the second row, and a central white streak on 
the thoracic part. The dorsum of the abdomen is bronze, some¬ 
times with two rows of white spots, and is marked by an encir¬ 
cling white band. The very slender palpi have the femora and 
the distal ends of the patellse covered with white scales and are 
otherwise dark brown. The clypeus is brown with a band of 
white hairs. The legs are brown with the femur of the first very 
‘dark and % he proximal parts of the other femora yellowish. The 
falces have a bunch of white hairs on the inner basal part. 
In the female the eephalothorax is brown, covered with gray 
hairs. The abdomen is bronze-brown with four pairs of some¬ 
what oblique white spots. In front there is a white band, and 
the sides have oblique white marks. The legs are brown, more 
or less ringed with yellow. The clypeus is white. The venter 
is dark in the middle, and lighter on the sides. 
The smaller specimens of militaris look like montanus E. but 
the tube of the palpus is curved in militaris and straight in 
montanus. The females can be distinguished by the epigynes. 
A male from Kansas has the white side bands on the cephalo- 
thorax short, extending from the eyes of the second row to just 
beyond those of the third. The abdomen of this specimen is 
bronze only in the middle. 
This species is common through the eastern, southern and
