Four-spined Serendib
This species is easily recognised by the presence of two pairs of spines on the dorsum. The anterior pair is finer than the posterior pair. The carapace is noticeably more elongated compared to other known species of Serendib. It is covered with yellowish setae arranged in a radiating formation. Like other Serendib spiders, the PLE are well separated laterally and positioned further back from the PME.
