Length, 6 5.2 mm., 2 5.9 mm. Legs, S 1342, 2 3412, first 
pair a little the stoutest. Spines, S tibia I, II 3-2 (1 anterior 
lacking), and laterals; pat. I, II 1; met. I, II 2-2, no laterals. 
In the female they are small and indistinct, but seem to be like 
those of the male. 
The male is a brilliant spider with variable markings. The 
upper part of the cephalothorax is bright yellowish-red, marked, 
above the front eyes, by a snowy band which curves back to the 
eyes of the second row, where it merges in the white side region, 
and by a small white spot between the dorsal eyes. Below the 
eyes are wide white bands which occupy the entire sides in front, 
but are limited to the upper half further back, the lower sides 
being black. These bands become narrower and, turning up¬ 
ward and inward at their ends, send an oblique bar downward 
and outward; they do not meet behind, the space between being 
black. Under alcohol the cephalic plate has a black scalloped 
border behind, which contrasts with the paler thoracic region. 
The hairs between the front eyes are bright red, those on the 
clypeus, white. The abdomen is light golden on the back with 
an encircling white band, scalloped behind the middle, bordered 
with red around the base and front sides and with black toward 
the spinnerets. Two short white lines run back from the middle 
of the basal band. On the posterior part, above, are one or two 
pairs of oblique white bars. LTnder alcohol the abdomen shows 
two oblique white bands on the front part, a white triangle sur¬ 
rounding a dark spot behind the middle, and two. curved white 
bands over the spinnerets. All the femoral joints are white at 
the proximal and dark at their distal ends, the other parts of the 
legs being covered with white and red hairs. The palpus is cov¬ 
ered with yellowish hairs. 
The female is less brilliant but not less variable than the 
male. The cephalothorax is covered with a mixture of orange, 
black and white hairs, the sides being lighter than the back.
