Length, $ 4.7-5 mm. Legs 3412. On the tibia of the

below the distal spine is a third smaller spatulate spine, and 
above is a fourth spine, large, hut scarcely spatulate. Third leg

and the black spots on the base of the front of the falces more 
pronounced than is shown in the drawing. The palpi are yellow 
covered with white hairs. The abdomen has a white basal hand 
and white scalloped sides, the middle region somewhat rounded 
in outline, also white, between this region and the scalloped sides

a reddish hue on the hack.

which are pure white; on top of the patella and tibia is a pale, 
indistinct line and under the femur patella and tibia are white 
scales, both plain and pedicellate, being longest under the tibia.
