The number of spigots corresponding to the aciniform and tubuliform (the latter only in adult females) glands was relatively low compared to other wolf spider species (Table 1; Dolejs et al.
At the posterior lateral spinnerets (PLS), we observed the spigots corresponding to aciniform and tubuliform glands (the latter in adult females only).
2014), which, however, present a smaller number of piriform, aciniform and tubuliform glands compared to A.
A region containing carboxyl groups seems to be typical for piriform glands, as well as acidophilic reaction of aciniform glands (Kovoor 1987).
The aciniform, flagelliform, and pyriform glands are the smallest glands (Fig.
Although comparable in size and shape to aciniform glands, we identified the flagelliform glands by their more pronounced tails and longer, more robust ducts as compared to aciniform glands (Fig.
