Abstract
⺠Males having longer chelicerae than their opponents were more likely to win contests. ⺠Males who won, despite being smaller, had less red chelicerae than their opponents. ⺠Male and female cheliceral and foreleg lengths correlated tightly with body size. ⺠Chelicerae and forelegs showed stronger positive allometry in males than in females.
