Pelegrina exigua (Banks 1892)

Containing group: Pelegrina

Introduction

Males of exigua can be distinguished from flavipedes and flaviceps by the mostly dark brown legs, the thin retrolateral ramus (Chamberlin, 1925b), and the more twisted prolateral ramus. The black spot on the chelicerae is much broader than in flavipedes. Females of exigua have more strongly convergent epigynal flaps and an extremely broad second curve of the internal ducts.

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.
