stessler1Description
(Note: edited to change name from A. snetsingeri to A. karschi.) Male Atypus karschi found in a purse-web with the female and photographed under different lighting conditions. The A.k. males are THIN, not stout. No bright red on the legs, which lighten to orange toward their tips (meta- and tarsi). Palpal organ is small and not as obvious as Sphodros. Overall color in the field under natural indirect lighting is olive-brownish-reddish but the males can look blackish under bright natural light, fluorescent light and flash photography. Prominent darker dorsal scutum on abdomen is less prominent under brighter lighting. This individual is also posted on BugGuide.
