Abstract
Retinal mosaics of the four tiers of receptors (layers I–IV) in the principal eyes of two species of salticid spider known to exhibit high visual acuity are described at the ultrastructural level. The four tiers of receptors have been previously classified byLand (1969 a) andBlestet al. (1981). Only the tier (layer I) farthest from the dioptric system has a mosaic quality capable of sustaining the visual discriminations that have been demonstrated by behavioural experiments. More distal layers are of poor to negligible mosaic organization.
