There is little info on them. Simon originally described a female from Fonte Boa, Brasil in 1895, and a more recent source is Levi 1996. Levi's drawings were based on a female from Anangu, Napo. They are similar in habit to the more familiar orb weaver genera Micrathena and Gasteracantha.

Lol, it fooled me, too. I thought it was a jumping spider, but a friend looked at the images and told me it is actually in Corinnidae, another spider family with ant mimic genera. It is a ponerine ant mimic.

Amazing photos! The snow bug and tortoise? beetle are awesome. You had this guy with the bugs, but in case you didn't realize, it's an ant mimic jumping spider.

Wow, beauty! Encyosaccus sexmaculatus is the name.

I agree. Looks like the common brown species often mislabeled as Gorgyrella or some other completely wrong genus by ignoramus dealers. Contact the Search Police here or try searching this site for Ancylotrypa for more info.;)

Looks like Myrmekiaphila to me. In the US, Nemesiids are only in CA.

The male in Eric's thread certainly fits Fufius.

Great pictures. I really think it is a Fufius sp.

Lol. Thanks, Martin. Seriously, that is one awesome looking spider.

Don't expect you to reply as you haven't in your previous threads, but I'll ask anyway. What makes this a Nemesiid?

Katy green, your spider is an immature male P. regius, not an audax.

I agree. I believe it is the Cyrtaucheniid Fufius, and some good images of the venter could help support this. Already I see the recurved fovea, eyes, and adult male legs 1 fitting the description.

Some spiders are like that. Same family, different parts of the world, and very similiar in appearance. I was going to say ventral, spinneret, and a dorsal view of the whole spider might help ID, but if you're sure your spider is like the one in the link, check out genus Idioctis or Sipalolasma.

Nemesiids are scopulate, too. It might be a Barychelid. Can you post some more images from different angles? Maybe a ventral view as well. Thanks for posting all those great insect and spider images, btw.

Yeah, definite. The spot pattern is the key here. The white markings on the abdomen are spots. From front to back is spots 1-4. Spots 1 is the first pair near the head, 2 is the large white one, which is actually a fused pair, 3 and 4 are the line pairs following. That's a common Phid spot...

Actually it's a Phidippus. Not sure which species, looks like immature coloration.

Thanks. I don't have any babies yet, still waiting for the sac to hatch. Look for the dealers selling silver tunnel spiders and brush footed trapdoors. Zach, the first one is a Ctenolophus, two is Ancylotrypa, three is Idiops, four and five are Cyphonisia, six is idiops or Ctenolophus. The...

Is it Malaysian? I bet it's Caerostris sumatrana. If so keep in mind these spiders are orb weavers, so they need to be set up accordingly. Not in a container where they can't climb the sides and top with a pile of moss on the bottom.

Nice images. Where is it from? Probably Caerostris.

I'm not sure, never tried it. I chose mine knowing it was a female because of its size.
