Miniature Big-headed Jumper
The female can be instantly recognised from the striking orange setae around the eyes and from its unique and intricate brown-and-white pattern on the carapace and abdomen. The male is also easily identifiable from a combination of characters: striped legs, a single white spot within the ocular area, an arch of white setae below the eyes bracketing the carapace, and other patches of white setae on the abdomen, including a squarish pair in the mid-section of the dorsum.
