apart, a little farther from the lateral; median ocular area a little 
broader posteriorly than long (pl. 37, fig. 3). Width of clypeus

marginal band which extends from the sides of the clypeus to 
posterior margin. Short, dark brown hairs clothe the dark areas 
and light yellow hairs the lateral bands. Curved, light lines, extend-

area. yes: anterior eyes in a straight line; median, separated by 
a little less than the diameter of one of them, slightly larger than 
lateral and closer to them than to each other. Posterior eyes equal 
in size and about one-fourth larger than anterior median. Median 
ocular area almost as long as wide posteriorly. Clypeus dark brown 
with a median, vertical, light bar; its width equals the height of the 
median ocular area. Chelicera mottled with dark brown at base, 
light yellow distally, and clothed with mixed brown and yellow 
hairs; lower margin of furrow armed with three teeth, two of which 
are almost contiguous, the third somewhat remote. Abdomen above
