波斯緬蛛
Burmattus sp GERGASSI
| This is a genera of South East Asia:
Dull brown, stout to large salticids. Found on shrubs and plants.
Burmattus genus was erected by Proszynski in 1992 to accommodate two species originally described by Thorell in 1895 and some new material. Burmattus species are comparable to Evarcha in appearance. The cephalothorax is high and narrow with the sides almost vertical. It is flat on top for most of its length with the rear part of the thorax very steep. The abdomen is oval, tapering posteriorly. The legs not particularly long, with legs I longest and strongest. For the male of B. pococki, the eye area is brown and the eye surrounds black. The rest of the carapace is orange with white and dark brown hairs. The abdomen is dark grey becoming darker posteriorly. Anteriorly there is a longitudinal band with rows of small orange spots on each side and posteriorly two pairs of white tufts. Legs I are orange brown in color with the tarsi paler. The other legs are grey orange-brown. The female appears to be a somewhat lighter colored edition of the male. Burmattus is known only from Myanmar, Vietnam and Southern China. This species below perhaps is a new record for Borneo. |
