This is a very distinctly marked spider, two white lines on the 
cephalothorax and three on the abdomen. The male cephalo- 
thorax is dark brown, except the cephalic plate and the anterior 
sides of the head where it is brick-red. A white stripe extends 
backward from each dorsal eye to the base of the thorax. The 
abdomen is dark with a middle and two lateral white stripes. 
Under parts light. The clypeus is covered with flattened hairs 
of a lovely turquoise blue. The legs are dark in some speci¬ 
mens, the patella, tibia and metatarsus of the first almost black. 
All the tarsi are light yellow. 
The female resembles the male, but is without the red on the 
cephalic plate and the blue on the clypeus, and the two white 
lines extend forward to the anterior lateral eyes. A middle 
white stripe begins between the middle eyes but fades out before 
reaching the thorax. The legs are light brown, with two darker 
rings on each joint. 
Mr. Emerton found this species in Massachusetts. We have 
it from Texas, and Wisconsin, Mr. Scheffer from Kansas.
