Maratus electricus Otto & Hill 2017

Maratus electricus Otto & Hill 2017b

This striking species is known from a single locality near Lake Muir. The species name electricus is based on the resemblance of parallel lines of red pigmented scales on the opisthosoma to electrical wiring on a circuit board. As in M. linnaei, bright white setae of the pedipalps align with tracts of white setae between the AME and ALE as well as lines of white setae that traverse the eye region.
