Javanese Green Sac Spider
Although it can be positively identified only by examining its genitalia, it may be recognised in the field from its relatively larger size than those of N. borneensis and N. camouflata.
When alive, some males show a faint bluish patch on the dorsum and a squarish patch near the epigastric area. In the female, the epigyne is a translucent bluish plate-like structure.
