Pelegrina clemata (Levi and Levi 1951)

Containing group: Pelegrina

Introduction

Markings whitish instead of yellow distinguish it from insignis. Embolus narrower at tip than in montana, insignis, chaimona, dithalea, much as in balia and chalceola, though these have different markings and a wider carapace than clemata. The tegulum`s prominent bulge is unusual. The dark epigynum with a prominent shiny mound behind the flaps is distinctive.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
