Abstract
Mobility and dispersal of the solitary-living spider, Stegodyphus afri canus Blackwall 1866, under laboratory conditions are described for th e period from four months after hatching until death. Cohabitation wit h females of the social-living S. dumicola Pocock 1898, within the sam e experimental setup, reveals interspecific tolerance between both spe cies.
