Appendix 
Abbreviations and definitions of measurements and meristic characters 
used in this study. 
CL Maximum length of carapace (between lines tangent to anterior- 
most and posterior-most parts of carapace) along line parallel 
to median longitudinal axis, with lateral border of carapace hori- 
zontal. 
CW Maximum width of carapace along line perpendicular to median 
longitudinal axis. 
IFL Length of femur I taken as length of straight line connecting the 
proximal and distal points of articulation. All leg and pedipalp 
segment length measurements were made in side view along 
retrolateral surface of appendages after removing them from spider. 
ITL Length of tibia I taken as length of straight line connecting proximal 
and distal points of articulation. 
IML Length of metatarsus I taken as length of straight line connecting 
proximal point of articulation with distal-most point of segment. 
ITarL Length of tarsus I taken as length of straight line connecting most 
proximal exposed point of tarsus with distal-most point of dorsal 
surface. 
IVFL, IVTL, IVML, IVTarL Leg IV segment lengths measured in same 
manner as corresponding leg I segments.
