unpaired behind, and the metatarsi of the first and second two 
pairs without laterals. 
In the male the high clypeus and the sides of the cephalic 
part slope inward. The color of the body is black, glistening 
on the cephalo thorax. The legs are mostly black, the tarsi 
of the first and second legs, and the tips of the tarsi of the third 
and fourth being pale yellow, while the femora of the third and 
fourth are light orange, fading to white in alcohol. The first 
leg has a short fringe of stiff black hairs above, and below, under 
the patella, tibia, and metatarsus, a fringe of long, thick pur¬ 
plish scales. The palpus has the femur black and the other 
joints pale yellow. 
The female specimens that we have are not very perfect. 
When dry the body is brown with thin, short yellowish hairs. 
Under alcohol it is as Mr. Emerton discribes it, the cephalo- 
thorax dark brown in front and lighter behind, marked with 
dark radiating lines, the abdomen pale gray with light chevrons 
along the middle and irregular oblique lines on the sides. The 
legs are light brown, the first and second pairs a little deeper in 
tint and somewhat stouter than the others. 
A coccoon of this species contained only fourteen eggs. 
The male and female described by Mr. Emerton were found 
in Hew Hampshire, on and near Mt. Monadnock. In the sum¬ 
mer of 1905, when Mr. Emerton was with us in California, 
we took two pairs at Sisson, near Mt. Shasta, and had a fine 
view of the display of the male in courtship, of which Mr. Em¬ 
erton made a color drawing from life. The spider took a pecu¬ 
liar attitude which served to show not only the ornamental 
first leg, but the colored femora of the third and fourth. 
Mr. Emerton has recently found young males of monadnock 
with the red third and fourth femora, yellow palpi and general 
black color of the adult, but without the fringe on the first leg. 
Mr. Banks reports the species from West Cliff, Colorado.
