Singapore Bull-headed Hunter
In both sexes, the cephalothorax is extended posteriorly into a tube. with this extension being particularly pronounced in the males. With this character, together with the exposed pedicel, it might be confused with an Aetius sp. of the family Corinnidae, but Aetius do not have the characteristic "bull-headed" cephalothorax unique to Utivarachna.
