The Maratus View in CoL View at ENA species groups

Species groups suggested by Waldock (2013) and Otto & Hill (2014b, 2015) take into account differentiation of abdominal patterns and lateral ornamentation, inflatable spinnerets, and behaviour, especially male courtship.

In this paper the male embolic discs of all examined species, studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), revealed microstructures of the embolic disc and the adjacent lateral process of the embolic disc, suggesting the following species groups.
