Salticidae Heratemita

Heratemita sp. "White Socks Squat"

White Socks Squat Jumper

This species is similar to Heratemita sp. A in the shape of the carapace and in having a comb of long hair of tibiae I. On tarsi II to IV, the white hairs are particularly prominent, suggestive of a spider wearing two pairs of white socks. This species differs from Heratemita sp. A by having a shorter abdomen, being only as long as the cephalothorax. Each of the male chelicerae has a horn-like outgrowth. The dorsal surface of its black body of the male is adorned with iridescent green scales.
