Ring-legged Glossy Ant-hunter
This is the most common zodariid species in Singapore from where the first described specimen was collected. The name "annulipes" (meaning "ring-like") refers to the black bands on the yellowish orange legs. The abdomen is usually adorned with three to four pairs of bright yellow blotches. The male has black round bumps near the bases of femora I, II and III.
