MALE: COLOR: Carapace with a median longitudinal yellow band beginning
at second eye row. Band slightly invaded by black pigment at level of
third eye row, expanded slightly behind middle of carapace and straight
from middle to posterior margin. Thoracic groove dark. A submarginal
yellow band as wide as median extends from posterior lateral angles of
carapace to anterior eye row. Eyes ringed with black; tuft of gray hairs
between eyes of second row. Labium and endites yellow. Sternum yellow,
with a thin median longitudinal black line and three small black spots on
each side between coxae. Abdomen with a median light band tapering to
a point at posterior end of abdomen; anteriorly the band includes a pair
of longitudinal dark lines which extend posteriorly to about the middle of
the abdomen where they unite and continue a short distance as a single line. Sides of abdomen becoming lighter ventrally. Venter yellow, with
a pair of irregular black lines extending from the genital furrow posteriorly
and approaching each other in the region of the spinnerets. Distal
two-fifths of tibia I with a brush of jet black hairs; distal tip of metatarsus
IV dark. All other leg segments yellow.
FEMALE: COLOR: As in male except for absence of brush on tibia I. |

| structural_features |
MALE: STRUCTURE: First eye row moderately procurved. Anterior medians
closer to anterior laterals than to each other and separated by a little
less than their diameter. Eyes of third row separated by two and onehalf
times their diameter. Sides of head moderately steep. Carapace almost
horizontal to posterior end of thoracic furrow, after which there is an
even slope to the posterior margin of the carapace. Spination as usual in
the genus. Leg ratio: 4:1:2:3. Palpal organ with almost one-half of
cymbium extending above alveolus. Details as figured.
FEMALE: STRUCTURE: As in male. Epigynum with narrow lateral guides; details
as figured.
The median apophysis of this species is similar to that of Schizocosa
duplex Chamberlin, and the distal division of the bulb has a very small
horn. However, the brush of hairs present in the male of this species is
lacking in S. duplex, and the female epigynum has much narrower lateral
guides, with the division barely evident. |
