those on the posterior border of the tibia. Some of these hairs 
.are pedicellate. There is an indistinct narrow white stripe on 
the upper face of the tibia, patella and distal part of the fe¬ 
mur. The last three pairs of legs are dark yellow', with short 
white hairs and some black marks. The third leg has the femur 
constricted and rounded at the distal end with a short apophysis 
above and a black dot in front. Several black longitudinal lines 
.appear on the anterior and upper sides. The patella has two 
short apophyses above. The joints of the palpi and also the 
front faces of the falces are covered with short white hairs. 
This is a very variable species, both as to marking and depth 
of general color. Sometimes the spider is more nearly yellow 
than brown, and the marking fawn than white; the legs range 
from pale to nearly black, and so do the falces. The fringe on 
the first leg may be white, as in the form we described as festus, 
or brown and white as in those called brunneus and Klauserii. 
This species closely resembles coecatus, but differs in not hav¬ 
ing the red clypeus, or the white oval spots on the front faces 
of the falces, and it has a band of chevrons, instead of a dia¬ 
mond-shaped spot behind the second transverse white mark on 
the abdomen. Coecatus lacks the narrow white line just inside 
the ocular area.
