cribellum
cribellum A sieve-like structure which lies just anterior to the spinnerets of some spiders. In these (cribellate spiders) there is also a row of small, curved bristles on the calamistrum. The calamistrum combs out the very fine strands of silk from the cribellum, to form a characteristically bluish silk.
