Abstract
THE scientific study of spiders has remained peculiarly neglected. In particular the field of systematics, until recently, has relied almost exclusively on the morphological species concept of the nineteenth century. Systematic difficulties have in turn discouraged research in other branches of spider biology. This communication summarizes an investigation into the spider genus Dysdera (Dysderidae), undertaken to strengthen the taxonomic foundations of a difficult but phylogenetically important group.
