black or brown. The under parts are yellow. The first leg is 
dark with the last two joints lighter. At the distal end of fe¬ 
mur there are two short bunches of dark hair, also scales and 
white hairs on the other parts. The other legs are yellow with 
spots and shades of black. The third leg has the distal end of 
the femur constricted and enlarged, with an apophysis above and 
a black dot on the front face, and has, on the dorsal surface of 
the patella, a simple or a double ridge and a wide apophysis. 
The female is much less distinctly marked. The cephalo- 
thorax is covered with light yellow hairs, the cephalic plate be¬ 
ing the darkest. Faint suggestions of the white marks found 
on the male are seen in some females. The abdomen is light 
fawn and the transverse marks are less clearly indicated; the 
one in the middle is most distinct. The white diamond-shaped 
spot and the short lines above the spinnerets are well marked 
and usually outlined in dark, though all the marks on the abdo¬ 
men are very indistinct in some specimens. The legs are yellow 
to light brown. 
Hentz found this species in Alabama. We have it from Way- 
cross, Ga.; Mariana, Fla.; Baton Rouge, La.; Texas and Col¬ 
umbia, Mo.; and Mr. Banks reports it from Shreveport, La. 
and Fort Collins, Col. In a recent letter Mr. Banks says: “I 
have no coecatus from the north; my Ithaca record refers to 
young of P. borealis apparently.” Coecatus H., and cristatus 
H. (of which he had only the female), are synonyms of cor- 
onatus H. The coecatus which Hentz took in September, was 
probably a young male. Mr. Emerton has coronatus from Long 
Island, H. Y., which seems to be the northern limit of several 
southern species.
