Abstract
Male Argyrodes antipodiana secrete a substance onto
cephalothoracic protrusions ("knobs"). The substance
apparently seeps out at the bases of hairs situated on the
knobs, then proceeds to cover the hairs. The role of the
substance during copulation and its effect on the female is
discussed.
