Salticidae Agorius

Agorius sp. "Peanut Long-patella"

Peanut Long-patella Ant Jumper

The male abdomen is rounded at both ends and narrowly constricted in the middle, giving this magenta-coloured Agorius the comical look of a peanut.

Unlike the previous species, the dorsal plate over the abdomen do not have erect and stiff bristles; instead, the anterior plate is covered with numerous tiny sockets each bearing a curved spine. There are white setae laterally on the narrowed "waist".

The spine-bearing curved tibia I. characteristic of the genus, is obvious in the left photo.

The males have a more constricted abdomen than the female.
