Figure 25. Two amycoids with a subtropical distribution in the southeastern United States. 1, Female Colonus sylvanus (Hentz 1846). This species can be distinguished from the related C. puerperus (Peckham & Peckham 1909, not Hentz 1846 which is a female C. sylvanus) by the presence of red-orange scales around the eyes, and black flecks that are visible through the sides of the carapace. 2, Female Sarinda hentzi (Banks 1913). These have only a few, simple scales (Figure 26.6), some near the eyes, and the others forming a broken band around the opisthosoma. This band has the appearance of a constricted ant abdomen, much like the ants that share the microhabitat of this ant-mimic.
