About Schizocosa ocreata (Hentz, 1844)

Schizocosa ocreata (Hentz, 1844) can be distinguished from other species in the Schizocosa genus by its dark, furry legs. Among male S. ocreata, paired tufts of bristles act as a secondary sexual characteristic, and this is the only physical feature that separates this species from its close sibling species.
