In the male the cephalothorax is brown, the upper surface 
covered with greenish or yellowish metallic scales. The face 
and sides are conspicuously marked with snow-white bands. 
Three bars, the middle one extending farthest back, begin on 
the cephalic plate and pass down between the eyes. The middle 
one runs down vertically to the edge of the clypeus, while the 
side ones curve around, leaving a brown space below each of the 
middle eyes, and pass diagonally downward along the sides of 
the cephalothorax, ending opposite the dorsal eyes. Higher up 
on the sides are wide white bands, which begin at the lateral 
eyes of the first row and pass back, nearly meeting behind, and 
between these bands the color is brown. Sometimes, in addi¬ 
tion to these, there is a white line along the lower edge of the 
cephalothorax. The abdomen is brown with a not very distinct 
greenish-bronze branching band down the middle, and a white 
band around the base and sides; this band is sometimes scalloped 
on its inner edges, toward the end. The legs are pale yellow 
with black longitudinal bars on the front faces of all the femora, 
and sometimes of the other joints. In life the first leg has a 
soft white fringe, but this is easily rubbed away. The palpi are 
brown with two snow-white spots above, one on the femur and 
one on the patella.
