Twig-lining in a trapdoor spider Latouchia swinhoei (Araneae: Ctenizidae) from Okinawa

HAUPT J.
N/A

A twig-lining population of Latouchia swinhoei Pocock, 1901 (Ctenizidae) was found in Okinawa in a habitat also densely populated by other trapdoor spiders (Ryuthela nishihirai, Mesothelae). Specimens were tested in the laboratory for their utilization of objects offered to them for attachment to the rim of the burrow. The behavioural capacity of twig-lining is discussed in comparison with other trapdoor spiders.
