colour is pale, yellowish-brown, and there is an irregular black spot on the upper part of the 
coxa; of the posterior pair, and a curved one at the extremity of the femora of the anterior 
pair, on the under side; each tarsus is terminated by two curved, slightly pectinated claws, 
below which there is a small scopula. The palpi resemble the legs in colour, and have a few 
black spots on the cubital, radial, and digital joints, in front. The abdomen is oviform, 
convex above, projecting a little over the base of the cephalo-thorax; it is clothed with black 
and short, hoary hairs, and is of a fulvous colour, with curved, transverse, oblique rows of 
black spots, more or less confluent, extending from the upper part to the sides; and on the 
under part numerous black spots are distributed without regularity; the branchial opercula 
have a pale-yellowish tint; and there is a longitudinal, black streak on the upper part of each 
superior spinner. 
In October, 1853, an immature female of this species, which is nearly allied to Salticus 
frontalis and Salticus reticulatus, was received from the Rev. Hamlet Clark, who took it neai 
Northampton in September in the same year.

The legs are robust, provided with hairs, and with two parallel rows of large, sessile 
spines on the inferior surface of the tibise and metatarsi of the first and second pairs; they 
are of a pale, yellowish-brown hue, with obscure, dark annuli at the joints ; the fourth pair is 
the longest, then the first, which a little surpasses the third pair, and the second pair is the 
shortest; each tarsus is terminated by two curved claws, below which there is a small 
scopula/ The palpi resemble the legs in colour. The cephalo-thorax is large, nearly 
quadrilateral, thinly clothed with hairs, somewhat glossy, depressed before, abruptly sloped 
behind, and projects beyond the base of the falces, which are small, conical, and rather 
inclined towards the sternum; the maxillse are short, straight, and enlarged and rounded at 
the extremity; the lip is triangular; and the sternum is oblong-heart-shaped. These parts 
are of a yellowish-brown colour; the sternum is the palest, and the lateral margins of the 
cephalo-thorax and the region of the eyes have a brownish-black tint. The abdomen is 
oviform, hairy, moderately convex above, projecting over the base of the cephalo-thorax ; it is 
of a pale, yellow-brown colour, reticulated and streaked with brownish-black lines, a series of 
pale, yellow-brown and brownish-black angular lines, disposed alternately, and having their 
vertices directed forwards, extending along the middle of the upper part; the under part is
