The male palp resembles  A. cielitobut  A. grisaediffers from the other  Aniciusspecies by the presence of a keel in the promargin of the embolus ( Fig 76), TL bilobed with two marginal crests and the bulb is kidney-shaped ( Figs 68, 76). Females of  A. grisaeresembles  A. cielitoin leg I color pattern, but differs from it in the general shape of the epigyne,  A. grisaehas the CD with the convergent-divergent pattern ( Fig 86).   FIGURES 18–23.Typical habitats where the species of  Anicius. 18 cloud forest in type locality of  A. cielito  sp. nov.; 19 forest with oaks (Michoacán), habitat of  A. dolius; 20 fragmented oak forest (Michoacán), habitat of  A. dolius; 21 pine-oak forest, type locality of  A. faunus  sp. nov.; 22 oak-pine forest, type locality of  A. grisae  sp. nov.; 23 fragmented oak forest in the type locality of  A. maddisoni sp. nov.   FIGURES 24–29.  Anicius dolius24–26 male (CNAN-Ar010558) (24 dorsal, 25 ventral, 26 lateral). 27–29 female (CNAN- Ar01561) (27 dorsal, 28 ventral, 29 lateral).

Some specimens (n = 4) do not have the medial longitudinal dark band on opisthosoma well-defined, or have just one pair of dark lateral spots (n = 6). Some males have blunt, instead of bicuspid retromarginal tooth (n = 8).  Natural history.Specimens were found during the day in mixed oak-pine forests wandering on trees, between 1,500 to 2,500 melevation ( Fig. 22). This species has a greater abundance of adults during spring and summer; May is the best month to collect adult males and June to collect pregnant females. Five females were collect in June in Oaxaca, three of them, laid egg sacks seven days later, with 11– 13 eggseach. Females showed parental care, stay- ing close to the egg sack and keeping their legs over the egg sac most of the time. After eight weeks, six spiderlings emerged from one of the egg sacks, and they died a few days later. The other two females died two weeks after its recollection and their egg sacks rotted a few days later.  Distribution.Estado de México, Guerrero, Morelosand Oaxaca, Mexico( Fig. 17). 2284429052 2014-08-02 CNAN-T La Cruz Pintada & G.
