Theridiidae Phycosoma

Phycosoma hana (Zhu, 1998)

Blotchy Box-headed Spider

P. hana differs from P. digitula by its dull brown colouration and by having black-banded legs IV. In both sexes, the carapace is translucent with a broad median black band covering the entire dorsal surface. In the female, the light brown dorsum has a pattern dominated by three to four pairs of large black blotches, separated anteriorly by a short black median longitudinal streak. A black belt encircles the anterior and sides of the abdomen.
