This species varies greatly in color, size and marking’. The 
ground color is black. The male has the upper part, the mar¬ 
gin of the cephalothorax and the clypeus covered with white 
scales, sometimes tinged with red. The falces are-dark and iri¬ 
descent. The female has the whole cephalothorax, the clypeus, 
the palpi, the front faces of the falces, and a great part of the 
first and second pairs of legs covered with red scale-like hairs, 
the front face of the femur, in the first and second legs of both 
male and female, being sown with tiny white scales. The ab¬ 
domen is dark with white, reddish, or red marks, consisting of 
a central spot, a band around the front end which sometimes 
runs halfway, and sometimes all the way along the sides, and 
two pairs of bars on the sides, continuous with the encircling 
band, one at the middle point and one farther back. These 
bars are somletimes transverse, and sometimes oblique, and often 
one pair is transverse and the other oblique. The legs are black 
with black hairs, which are especially long on the first and sec¬ 
ond pairs. 
We have many specimens from Mashonaland, Natal, and 
Cape Colony.

showing the integument to be dark red on the sides and lighter 
above. There seem to have been many light yellow and red¬ 
dish hairs on the sides and over the back. Around the eyes of 
the first row and on the clypeus are long reddish hairs, and 
white hairs with a yellow tinge cover the front faces of the 
falces. The abdomen has a covering, of short reddish-gray 
hairs with long white hairs scattered over it. Down the mid-
