Black Socks Ladybird Spider
The female may be recognised by the orange helmet-shaped abdomen. In some individuals, there is a black spot on the lateral margin of the abdomen. The legs are bicoloured, with black tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi. This species is closely related to, if not identical with, "Pasilobus" nigrohumeralis (Hasselt, 1882) recorded from Sumatra in Indonesia.
