Diagnosis.—
This species has a recognisable coloration pattern: abdomen black with a distinct series of silvery spots. The males are characterised by a short embolus (E) (
Fig. 66
) and a spinelike conductor (C) extending beyond the cymbium (
Fig. 66
). Females are recognised by the general shape of the epigynum (see
Fig. 67
), and the spermathecae (S) and second spermathecae (SS) of about equal size (
Fig. 68
) (
Levi 1954
).
Distribution.—
Québec (present records) and Ontario south to Virginia and Illinois, west to Saskatchewan.
