Length, 3 6 mm., $ 6.5 mm. Legs, 3 1423, $ 1423, first 
pair stoutest in the male. In both sexes the spinal armature 
for the tibia of the first is 3-3, and for the metatarsi of the first 
and second, 2-2. In the female, the tibia of the second has one 
pair, two serially, further back, and one very small anterior 
lateral, while in the male one of the inferior serial spines is 
lacking. 
In the male the spider is gray, the cephalothorax with dark 
sides. Above the first row of eyes is a white region, and white 
diagonal bands (indistinct) run from the dorsal to the middle 
front eyes. Intermixed with the gray hairs, on the upper sur¬ 
face, are many red hairs, these being more marked in some 
specimens than in others. The abdomen has four impressed 
dark dots, and some indistinct white bars on the sides. One ex¬ 
ample has a pair of white bars over the spinnerets. The legs 
are banded except the femora, which are dark. In the posterior 
three pairs, especially, the proximal halves of the joints are light 
yellowish. The tarsi are all light. In the female the gray hairs 
on top of the cephalothorax are mixed with red as far back as 
the middle of the thoracic part. There are three white spots 
on the cephalic plate, and two, within and back of the dorsal 
eyes, and curved white bands run back from the dorsal eyes, 
becoming continuous behind. The sides are dark. The ab¬ 
domen has the sides and middle light gray, but this ground 
color is broken by two brown spots near the front end, and two 
wide, angular, brown bands, with their edges cut out in square 
blocks, which pass from in front of the middle to the spinnerets.
