Ceratogyrus Spiders — Plate I

This early scientific plate presents four female spiders as isolated specimens against a pale field, arranged in a restrained two-by-two composition. Small letter labels distinguish the individual specimens, emphasizing differences in their bodies, legs, and dense surface textures.

The caption identifies figures a–c as female Ceratogyrus brachycephalus from the N’jelele River and figure d as a female Ceratogyrus dolichocephalus from Victoria. Dark monochrome specimens contrast with the warm cream tone of the printed page, giving the composition a distinctive archival character.
