The whole spider is black covered with grayish-rufus hairs. 
There are some white hairs over the first row of eyes and on 
the clypeus, and the abdomen has stiff black hairs sprinkled 
over it. The first and second legs are black excepting the pa¬ 
tellae, which are reddish. The third and fourth are covered 
with rufus hairs. The palpi are black excepting the tarsi, 
which are brown with white hairs. The falces are black, with¬ 
out iridescence. 
We have one male from Manica. Mts., Mashonaland, sent by

Length, $, $, 4.5 mm. Legs, $ 1423, $ 4123, first pair stout¬ 
est, especially in the male. 
The general color is bright rufus, resulting from a mixture 
of white and yellowish-red hairs. When these are rubbed off 
the cephalothorax is dark, almost black on the sides, golden, 
with two black spots, on the eye region, while the abdomen is 
light colored with dark specks and blackish lines. In perfect 
specimens the cephalothorax is bright rufus with a band of snow- 
white hairs around the margin; these hairs grow longer on the 
clypeus. The abdomen is rufus with a whitish basal band, two 
longitudinal white bands on the anterior part and three pairs 
of white transverse bands, alternating with black, behind. The 
legs are yellowish in the female and brown in the male, the first 
and second pairs much darker than the others. 
The tibia of the first leg has three pairs of spines; of the sec¬ 
ond, two uniserial and two subapical spines. The metatarsi of 
the first and second have two pairs. The palpi are yellow in 
the female and dark brown in the male. The falces are small 
and vertical in both sexes. 
We have two males and two females from Bergvliet, Gape Pe¬ 
ninsula, sent by Mr. W. P. Purcell, for whom we have named 
the species.
