Arnold Huber Interview
No full textArnold Huber was born in Toledo on December 6, 1901. He gave a detailed description of the people, buildings, and streets of early Toledo. He discussed his father's hobby of managing a semi-professional Toledo baseball team, and his own experiences as part of the Pig Iron Gang. Huber commented on everyday life before the advent of such modern conveniences such as running water, furnaces, electricity, and radio. He died on March 18, 1996, in Cleveland, Ohio

Male from Lembah Anai: palpal femur as in Fig. 191, distal process at 28% of femur length; palpal tibia length/diameter 0.55/0.33; bulb length 0.38; embolus length 0.50. There seems to be no significant genitalic variation among specimens from different localities in this widely distributed species. Tibia 1 in 20 newly examined males: 6.2–7.5 (mean 6.9); in 19 females: 5.3–6.5 (mean 6.0). Natural history. At Sikulikap Fall, most specimens were collected at one patch of large-leaved herbaceous plants close to the ground; webs were barely visible, consisting of only a few threads directly attached to the leaf surface; when disturbed the spiders did not vibrate but ran away (and eventually dropped to the ground). At most localities, this species occurs together with either C. phyllicola or with C. anai (or with both). Egg-sacs in this species are only moderately elongated (Fig. 125). Distribution. Widely distributed on the Malay Peninsula and on Sumatra, reaching into western Java (Fig. 283). The specimens from Java (Cibodas; 1♂ 3♀ in RMNH, ARA 17408) listed in Huber 2011 were re-examined for the present paper and their identification confirmed.Published as part of Bernhard A.
