Abstract

Field observations of Homalometa chiriqui (Araneae, Tetragnathidae), a common habitant in coffee plantations in Chiapas, México, provide biological information on this poorly known species. Collection data revealed several generations per year. The web architecture and microhabitat selection of young juveniles differ from those of older juveniles and adult females. Females deposit their eggs inside the retreat forming a straight cylindrical egg-rod.
