Strawberry-bellied Food-stealing Spider
The female differs from Spheropistha sp. A by having a strawberry-shaped abdomen which appears almost triangular in side view. The carapace is black. The colouration of the abdomen shows a mosaic of white and orangish brown patches amidst a black background, calling to mind a beef steak, rarely-done.
