Slender Striped Lynx Spider
This species may be distinguished from other Oxyopes in Singapore by having longer and more spindly legs and a proportionally slenderer and more elongated abdomen in both sexes. As in other Oxyopes in Singapore, a pair of black lines extend from the AME to the chelicerae. However, in this species, there is another pair of finer black lines running from the dorsum to the anterior edge of the carapace.
