This spider, of which I only found one specimen, constructs a perpendicular snare of 
about 12 rays, with a trap line to its nest under a leaf. Central spiral, incomplete, starts 
from ail interlaced part, from which trap line leads to nest. 
Outer spiral, consisting of 36 threads, is incomplete, and is on the opposite side of 
the snare from the trap line. Outer spiral adhesive. 
Type in my collection.
