Plate XXXVII, fig. 5. 
1904. Dendryphantes floridanus B. $ <J>, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 
p. 138. 
Length, $ 5 mm., $ 7mm. Legs, $ 1423, $ 1423. Spinal 
armature in the male, tibia I 3-3, tibia II 1-1 and two single 
spines, with one anterior lateral; met. I, II 2-2. The female 
is like the male, excepting that the tibia II has 2-2 and one be¬ 
hind. 
In the male the abdomen is rather narrow and pointed. The 
upper surface of the body is brown, and seems to have been 
clothed with yellow hairs. The cephalothorax has wide white 
bands on the upper sides and a central white spot behind the 
third row of eyes. The clypeus is thickly covered with light 
yellow hairs, and the falces have white scales along the inner 
sides. The abdomen has two rows of dark dots down the mid¬ 
dle, and a silvery, somewhat iridescent basal band which runs 
far back, low down on the sides. The legs are brown with 
darker cloudings on the inner faces of the femora and at the 
ends of the joints. The palpi are much lighter, with two black 
spines on the upper surface of the femur, and white scales on 
femur and patella. 
In the female the cephalothorax has white scales uniformly 
distributed over a reddish integument. On the clypeus and 
upper part of the falces the hairs are tinged with yellow. The 
abdomen has a white branching band down the middle and white 
hairs on the sides, the space between being covered with light 
yellow scales. The venter and legs are yellow. 
Mr. Banks has several examples from Altoona, Fla., taken 
in July. Mr. Powell has sent us a pair from Lakebury, Fla. 
Metaphidippus (Dendryphantes) apicalis F.O.P.O., from 
Teapa, Mexico, is very close to floridanus.
