Abstract

To facilitate further physiological investigation, a survey was undertaken of all the slit sense organs to be found on the body of the spider Cupiennius salei. We counted and mapped more than 3 000 sensory slits in the cuticle about half of which are combined to small groups of up to 29 slits forming compound or lyriform organs.
