Prey spiders of the Auplopus carbonarius species complex. (a) Species and families of the prey spiders. (b) Photograph of the common prey Plexippoides doenitzi (Karsch, 1879) fed upon by a larva of A. carbonarius species complex. (c) Frequency distributions of head widths of the three types of females (median, upper/lower qualities, maximum and minimum). The WM female width was significantly smaller than those of the other two types (Mann–Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction, p < 0.05), but range of the three types is largely overlapped.
