Wolf Spider (Lycosidae), Kempner, TX: 120508 pg 3

This spider has eight eyes. Those of the anterior row are equal in size, in a nearly straight or slightly procurved row across the front of the face (for the Trochosa, this line is recurved) above a low clypeus. The PER forms a quadrangle that is wider posteriorly. The PLE are not situated on small tubercles but erupt directly from the pars cephalica. Most Lycosidae use vision to detect and to stalk or ambush prey (Ubick et al, [2005], p. 164).  NEXT PAGE ---- PAGE Menu:  1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 *
