Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 501 
This species is unusually low and flat. The figures drawn by 
Mr. Emerton are excellent, except that in more perfect specimens 
than he used there are white scaly hairs over the front eyes, 
and around the margin of the cephalothorax, and that the male 
as well as the female has an encircling band of these scales, brok¬ 
en into bars, on the abdomen. In life the colors are as he des¬ 
cribes them, the cephalothorax brown with a covering of gray 
hairs, the abdomen dark gray with white border. After being 
in alcohol for a time, the white markings grow indistinct, and 
the scales on the thorax and the middle of abdomen become me¬ 
tallic. The metallic appearance is more distinct when the white 
marks, which are made up of elongated scales, are rubbed off. 
The first leg is brown, darker than the others, with the meta¬ 
tarsus and tarsus lighter colored. The other legs are light 
brown, darkened a little at the ends of the joints, and having, 
on the femora, fine, dark, longitudinal lines. All the legs have 
a good many white scales. The fringe on the tibia of the first 
is light brown. The palpi are brown with white scales, which 
also grow on the upper part of the falces. 
This species is found in Massachusetts, Hew York (Long Is¬ 
land, Mr. Banks), Wisconsin and Nebraska.
