Salticidae Portia

Portia fimbriata (Doleschall, 1859)

Stripe-faced Portia

The male looks superficially like that of P. labiata. Both have a darkcoloured body, a lateral belt around the lower margin of the carapace, and several pairs of dorsal tufts on the abdomen. They can be separated only by examining their respective male palps.

Female P. fimbriata can be recognised in the field by the two dark bands running from the "horns" to the lower edges of the "face".
