Back in time there were three established morphs in Florida alone, with substantial color and size variations,
Quoting @xenesthis, at the end of an old thread in 2009:

'P. regius has three distinct color morphs. The black morph is in North FL. The gray morph is in central FL and the orange morph is in south FL. In central FL, all three can be found, but the gray morph represented the most.'
However Phidippus regius has a wide distribution and can be found beyong North America, well across the Caribean and most of West Indies, including Cuba, with very colorful morphs there indeed. For instance the "Soroa" variant, has a vivid orange and black abdomen in females. Do you know any other morphs?
