Common Singapore Fishing Spider
This Dolomedes differs from Dolomedes sp. B by having a more elaborate pattern of glittering white setae on the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the abdomen, and a pair of more diffused belts made of such setae around the carapace. These setae occur in larger numbers on the legs, giving the legs a spotted or banded look.
