U-Pin Jumper
Although the two species featured here do not look like ants, they behave like certain ant mimicking spiders by raising their legs I while they walk around. Dendroicius are similar in appearance to Psenuc and Pseudicius. but lack the stridulatory apparatus found in those genera.
The female of Dendroicius sp. A is easily recognised by the inverted U-shaped streak of white setae on the carapace and a pair of longitudinal streaks on the abdomen.
