ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .— take pleasure in thanking the per- 
sons who helped collect specimens from the area of study, particularly 
John C. Clamp, William W. Thomson, and Gerri W. Wicker. The as- 
sistance of C.F. Lytle in providing equipment and laboratory space for 
Filka is also gratefully appreciated. The specimens of C. medialis from 
Deep Gap, Watauga County, North Carolina, were kindly loaned by 
Norman I. Platnick, American Museum of Natural History; Shelley’s 
collecting in Boone’s Cave and Crowders Mountain state parks was 
done with permission of the North Carolina Department of Natural 
Resources and Community Development, Division of State Parks. 
Specimens of B. stricta and D. lea collected by Shelley in Kings Mountain 
and Croft state parks. South Carolina, were secured through courtesy of 
the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. This 
research was partly funded by the North Carolina State Museum of
