Mygalomorph Trapdoor Spider,
Kempner, TX 111208, pg 5
 This
photo shows the eye cluster of this
spider from the front, with the basal chelicerae in the lower portion of
the photo below what appears as a delicately delineated clypeus (the
space between the eyes and the chelicerae). Note that the
head (pars cephalica) is not elevated behind the eye group, as in the
Ummidia (Ctenizidae). The anterior median eyes (AME) in the
center of the face look forward and slightly upward. Flanking
the AME, the anterior lateral eyes (ALE) face forward, angled down and
to the side. The brightly reflective posterior median eyes (PME) are
midway between, and behind, the ALE and AME. The posterior lateral eyes
(PLE), which face backward and to the side, are not visible but their
tubercles appear as dark knobs, next to the PME.
