on the sides, just in front of the spinnerets, is a pair of white 
spots. These are almost united by a narrow white line. On 
the middle of the dorsum are two white bars which are some- 
times broken. These extend downward, on the sides, to meet 
the basal band. The palpi are dark at the proximal end, and 
light yellow in the distal half. The legs have the femora 
dark. The patellae and tibiae are light yellow above with a 
longitudinal dark band on each side. This coloring is most 
distinct on the first and second pairs. The metatarsi and tarsi 
are light. All the legs; have white hairs.
