Do crab spiders (Araneae: Thomisidae) have the covering setae?
Abstract : This is the first study to determine whether covering setae are present in three flower crab spiders. The setae on the prosoma, opisthosoma and legs of Synema plorator (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), Xysticus laetus Thorell, 1875 and Diaea dorsata (Fabricius, 1777) were examined by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As a result of this study showed that these crab spiders were not found to have covering setae on their bodies.
