Calamistrum
In
spiders, the
calamistrum is a row of specialized leg bristles used to comb out fine bands of
silk. It is only found on cribellate spiders, that is, spiders that possess the spinning organ known as the
cribellum. The calamistrum and cribellum are used to form the hackled bands of silk which are characteristic of the webs of these spiders. The calamistrum is found on the upper margin of the
metatarsus of the hind legs. Each bristle of the calamistrum is serrated on one side and smooth on the other.
Calamistrum
(n.)
A comblike structure on the metatarsus of the hind legs of certain spiders (Ciniflonidae), used to curl certain fibers in the construction of their webs.
