sis which projects over the tibia, and on the anterior face is a 
black dot. 
The female is much like the male in marking, except that the 
cephalothorax is sometimes entirely covered with dull fawn col¬ 
ored short hairs and the abdomen is brown rather than black; 
the central white longitudinal band sometimes reaches neither 
the base nor the spinnerets.

The whole body is thinly covered with a mixture of white and 
rufus hairs. On the cephalic part are three longitudinal wdiite 
bands. The sides of the cephalothorax are white, and the mar¬ 
gin has a black line with a white line below it. The abdomens 
of our specimens are badly injured, showing only a white basal 
band, and two white spots near the spinnerets. The hairs 
around the front middle eyes are rufus above and below, and 
white on the sides. The middle of the clypeus has a large snow- 
white triangle, the apex being above, and the broad base cover¬ 
ing the margin. Running obliquely outward from below the 
middle eyes, are two chestnut-colored bars, and outside of these, 
running from between the lateral and middle eves, two oblique 
snow-white bands. Just under each lateral eye is another short 
chestnut-colored streak. The legs are brown with white hairs. 
We have two females from Hew Mexico-, sent us by Prof. 
Cockerell.
