Salticidae Chalcovietnamicus

Chalcovietnamicus vietnamensis (Żabka, 1985)

Gold-lined Squat Jumper

This small and striking species differs from other Junxattus species in Singapore by the presence of a longitudinal golden band running from the mid-point of the carapace and to the posterior end of the abdomen. The abdominal band is divided into two stripes through much of its length. Both sexes show the same pattern, but hairs are clearly discernible on the patellae and tibiae of legs I in the male.
