Meanings
plural metaltellines
- biologyAny spider of the subfamily Metaltellinae.
No one would claim that Chilean metaltellines are representative even of the Chilean biota in general, but consider the results of spider sampling in Bolivia (Coddington, personal communication; Colwell and Coddington 1994).
