Bioacoustics of Nanometa purpurapunctata

DESCRIPTION: Female (TEAU025, TEAU044, TEAU049) total length 3.7. Cephalothorax length 1.1, width 1.4. Clypeus height 2.7 AME diameter. Cephalothorax background pale-yellow pattern coloration dark gray (fig. 26A). Eyes in two rows, subequal in size except AME that are smaller (fig. 26G). Sternum pale yellow (fig. 26E). Cheliceral promargin and retromargin with three and one tooth respectively, ca. three cheliceral denticles. Abdomen dorsum background light gray, silvery guanine patches concentrated in the center around two lines of dark-gray spots (fig. 26A), lateral line of guanine patches complete and surrounded with dark-gray reticulated spots (fig. 26C). Booklung stridulatory organ absent. Tracheae observed with SEM, median trunks branched; lateral tracheae tube shaped. Femur I length 4.4. Copulatory ducts short and well sclerotized, spermathecae translucent and weakly sclerotized (figs. 26H, 29E), accessory duct glands opening acorn shaped as in leucaugines and not concentrated in clusters (fig. 28C). Male (TEAU025, TEAU045) same as female except as noted. Total length 2.7. Cephalothorax length 1.7, width 1.1. Clypeus 2.0 AME diameter (fig. 26I). Cephalothorax and abdomen coloration slightly darker than in female. Cheliceral promargin and retromargin with three teeth and one tooth respectively, denticles ca. two. Stridulatory organ formed by a cuticular ridge highly sclerotized on the booklung anterior edge (fig. 26F), coxa IV retrolateral not examined with SEM. Femur I length 6.0. Conductor tip with two distal apophyses (figs. 27B, 28E, F, 29A). VARIATION: Males ( N = 2) total length 2.6– 2.7, cephalothorax length 1.1–1.7, width 0.9–1.0.
