Theridiidae Theridion

Theridion sp. "White Zebra"

White Zebra Comb-footed Spider

With its zebra-like abdominal pattern, the female resembles Theridion zonulatum but the anterior dorsum is predominantly white, while the posterior end of the abdomen shows a neat stack of V-shaped markings (but without the "smiley" face associated with T. zonulatum). The male is red with a pair of black spots at the posterior end, slightly smaller and more separated than those at the posterior end of the male of T. zonulatum.

DistributionSingapore.
HabitatFoliage in the understorey of secondary forests. The male is often found with the female in a tangle of silky lines stretched over the leaf surface.
