Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 465 
beginning at the lateral eyes, including tlie dorsal eyes, and 
reaching the posterior end, but not meeting behind. The middle 
sides are covered with yellow hairs (sometimes faded to white) 
and there is a white marginal line. The middle of the clypeus 
is covered with long, flowing white hairs, which cover the upper 
part of the falces. From each middle eye a white band, edged 
with a dark line above and below, passes below the lateral eye 
and back as far as the small eye of the second row; lower down 
is the white marginal line, and just under the front lateral eyes 
are some white hairs. Below the small lateral eyes are tufts of 
black hairs. The ground color of the abdomen is usually brown, 
but sometimes much paler, especially on the sides. An oval 
region, on the dorsum, is covered with golden hairs, and this is 
encircled by a wide white band, below which, and covering the 
venter, the hairs are yellow. The legs are light or dark brown, 
not banded. 
In several males the hairs surrounding the eyes of the front 
row, and in lines just below and just above them, are bright 
yellowish-red, with a white line higher up. This with the 
ornamental clypeus, makes the face view very striking. 
In the female the cephalic plate is brown with a white stripe 
running back from the front eyes to a point between the dorsal 
eyes, where it bifurcates, passing back a little way on to the 
thoracic part. The rest of the cephalothorax, and the whole of 
the abdomen, has a thin covering of white hairs, which allows 
the reddish integument to show through in the form of punctate 
dots. The clypeus and legs are as in the male. The young fe¬ 
male has a mixture of white and yellow hairs over the body, but 
the cephalic stripe is distinct. 
This species is common along the Pacific coast from Seattle, 
Washington, to San Diego, California.
