Oriental Ground Jumper
Both males and females of this species are similar in appearance, with a tall carapace and stout legs I. The carapace and abdomen are covered in brown and orange hairs.
Under a microscope, this species can be easily recognised by the presence of strongly serrated teeth on the inner margin of the chelicerae. This species was first described based on a male collected in Singapore.
