The coloring of two males, taken alive is different, the hairs 
of one of them probably having been partly rubbed away. In 
one, the cephalothorax, including clypeus, is all black, and the 
abdomen is black with a white basal band and a white encircling 
band which sends up two bars on each side, the anterior pair of 
which is continued in a straight transverse band across the back, 
in front of the middle. This transverse band is connected with 
the base by an indistinct stripe of white. On the posterior part 
of the back is a good-sized central white spot, and behind this are 
two white dots. The coxa}, trochanters, mouthparts and stern¬ 
um are shiny black, contrasting with the brown legs. The venter 
has two dark bands, near together. The palpi are darker than 
the legs, with white bands along the outer and inner sides, and 
fawn-colored hairs on the tarsus. 
In the second male the cephalothorax has whitish bands from 
the dorsal eyes to near the hind margin, where they turn and 
pass forward along the lower sides, and the upper sides are cov¬ 
ered with gray hairs. On the abdomen the spaces between the 
bands and spots are filled in with gray hairs. In front of the 
transverse band are two narrow transverse black lines, one on 
each side of the middle. Behind, instead of the white spot, 
there is a band of tiny white chevrons bordered by short oblique
