of one of them, considerably farther from the lateral; area of median 
eyes as broad posteriorly as long. Width of clypeus about 244 diame- 
ters of an anterior median eye. Chelicera yellowish brown clothed 
with long, white hairs, some of which are dark on basal third; lower 
margin of the furrow with three teeth. Abdomen above with a dark 
median band clothed with light brown hairs; anteriorly as broad as 
that of cephalothorax, gradually widening to the middle of the length 
of abdomen, then, the sides becoming notched, tapering to spin- 
nerets. Contrast between median band and the lighter integument 
of sides heightened by dense covering of white hairs on the latter 
in life or when dry; several oblique rows of small, often indis- 
tinct, brown spots cross sides of abdomen and terminate indefinitely 
at sides of venter. Below abdomen is dirty yellowish white spotted 
more or less with brown; often a median, light line from epi- 
gynum to spinnerets. Integument of legs brownish yellow, in life 
considerably lighter from covering of mixed white and light brown 
hairs. In some specimens otherwise typically colored the legs are 
strongly banded. Sternum lighter than legs; a median yellow mark 
with irregular sides is bordered with gray. Labium reddish brown 
at base, lighter distally; endites usually pale yellow. Epigynum 
(pl. 9, fig. 5): lateral lobes separated anteriorly, meet on the mid- 
dle line behind; median lobe excavated in front. 
Male: length 12-15 mm; legs (1-2)-4-3; 38-38-35-31 mm; fron-

Color and pattern in general like that of female; in size a 
little smaller with abdomen less robust. Legs considerably longer 
and more slender than in female. The external apophysis of the 
tibia of the palpus is truncated and concave on its inner surface. 
The bulb resembles that of Pelopatis undulata but differs 
markedly from other genera of the family. 
Very young specimens are pale green or yellow with a pair 
of dark longitudinal stripes on the cephalothorax.

In this variety the median band of the cephalothorax is not as 
well marked as in the typical form, being obscured by a covering 
of short, white hairs. The integument of the sides is darker but 
in life the covering of white hairs gives a grayish appearance to 
the entire cephalothorax. On the abdomen the median band may 
be almost obliterated or indicated by small dense patches of white 
hair in spots that correspond to lateral notches in the band of a 
normally marked individual. The legs may be uniform brown or 
more or less ringed.
