Peckham—Revision of the Attidce of North America. 557 
a black band just above it on all the joints, except the femur. 
The femora of the posterior three legs are yellow, darkened at 
the ends; the other joints are a little darker, and all are covered 
with short white hairs. The sternum and venter are like the 
female. The palpus is light yellow, with white hairs on the 
tarsus, which extends beyond the bulb. 
In a fine example which we took at Sisson the tibia of the 
first is jet black and the brush above is very dense and striking. 
The clypeus is entirely covered with bright red hairs. In life 
the cephalothorax and abodmen and the upper sides of the first 
legs were all bronze, but having been for some time in alcohol 
the color has changed to nearly black, with iridescent bluish 
reflections. There are some small light-colored scales on the 
upper surface, and the abdomen is thinly covered with erect 
yellowish hairs, but there are no white bands. The legs are like 
those already described except that those of the second pair have 
fringes under the femur and patella. A male from Owen’s 
Lake has the integument all iridescent blue, covered, on the ab¬ 
domen, with copperv-pink hairs. The cephalothorax has white 
sides and thoracic bands, but the eye-region has the middle part 
bright copper-color with a border of white along the front and 
sides. It is probable that the other dark-colored males were 
originally like this. The scales are so easily removed that even 
in life they are often rubbed off. 
We have hirsutus from Oregon, California (Sisson’s and 
Owen’s Lake), Utah, and Las Cruces, IST. M. Mr. Banks has it 
from West Cliff, Colorado.
