Trachelidae Utivarachna

Utivarachna sp. "Singapore Bull-headed"

Singapore Bull-headed Hunter

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.
