Peckham—Revision of the Attidw of North America. 559 
White angular lines, less distinct in front than behind, begin at 
the front lateral eyes, point up over the small eyes, down under 
the dorsals and then up again, but do not meet behind. Many 
specimens have a scalloped black line between the dorsal eyes. 
The pale golden region down the middle of the abdomen may or 
may not be marked in the second half with fine, white chevrons. 
The bands on either side of the posterior central region are 
black, or red mixed with black, and the white basal band is 
mixed with red. In other females the surface is of a uniform 
pale brown with an encircling band gray. The white marks 
behind the middle consist of two long oblique lines, commonly 
bordered with black, which meet at an acute angle in front, and 
some small black-bordered chevrons further back. The clypeus 
and palpus are covered with white hairs, and the legs with a 
mixture of white, black and red. The epigynum is unique, hav¬ 
ing two large anterior openings, and two other openings be¬ 
hind, near the edge. 
This species is common in Hew England and Wisconsin and 
we found it in numbers on the Pacific coast from San Francisco 
to Victoria. Mr. Banks reports it from Hew York and Colo¬ 
rado, and it has been taken in Pennsylvania and in Arizona.
