Description
(amendments; see Huber 2000). Tibia
1 in
nine newly examined males: 10.4–12.4 (mean 11.1); in two females: 7.7, 8.3. Diameters of femora
1–4 in
large male: 0.29, 0.34, 0.36, 0.32. Most males with pale reddish abdomen (in ethanol; in live orange-red;
Fig. 554
). Prolateral trichobothrium present on tibia 1.
Natural history.
The spiders were found in strongly domed, rather small webs (diameter about
20 cm
), consistently with a second, flat sheet of silk under the domed main sheet. In the lines above the domed main sheet there were sometimes
Argyrodes
kleptoparasites.
Distribution.
Widely distributed between Manaus (
Brazil
) and the Peruvian Andes (
Fig. 741
).
