Length | ♀ 4–5 mm; ♂ 3–4 mm |
Type Locality | Sungei Seletar, Singapore Malaysia (Johor), Thailand. |

Biology | The webs are often built close to one another. Each may consist of an adult pair together with an egg sac or spiderlings between their second and fifth moult. They are regarded as "sub-social" because they cooperate in prey-capture and show extended maternal care (late dispersal of juveniles). |
