Striated Jungle Jumper
This species is rare in Singapore but common in Brunei, Sabah, and Sarawak forests. The dorsal pattern is characteristically marked by black and white bands in both sexes. Females can be recognised by a broad crescent-shaped white band immediately behind the black area around the eyes. Sub-adult female has a different carapace pattern as shown in the lower right photo.
