Moved
Moved from Coras. Ok, so here is another plug for Tegenaria. In Coras montana the Anterior median eyes larger than anterior lateral eyes by a ratio of 3 to 2. The eyes of this spider are pretty equal in size. I'll try to find some info on the Tegenaria eyes.

Hi Tom,
This picture is being used in the Spider Eye Arrangement article. Thanks!

If you could ever get one of these confirmed by an expert (and have the eye shot) I would really appreciate it. I sometimes struggle with the similiarities between this genus and Tegeneria. The eye arrangments are also quite similar.

Lynette,
I'll see what I can do about getting one of these spiders identified by an expert. I might have to get a specimen to someone.
