Maratus felinus Schubert 2019a

This species is known only from the vicinity of Lake Jasper in Western Australia. The name felinus is based on the cat-like appearance of the markings of the dorsal opisthosoma (fan). When elevated, the two tufts at the rear of the fan look like the ears of an exotic cat. Photo by Joseph Schubert.
