Abstract
Wolf spiders have four pairs of eyes distributed in three rows. The first row which lie in the frontal region of the caparace, just above the chelicera, contains four eyes: a medial pair known as the anterior medial eyes (AM eyes or principal eyes) and two smaller eyes known as the anterior lateral eyes (AL eyes). The second row which is located also in the frontal region of the prosoma consists of two big eyes. These are the posterior median eyes (PM eyes). The third row contains the posterior lateral eyes (PL eyes) which lie in the flanks of the prosomal caparace. The AL, PM and PL eyes are the so-called secondary eyes.
