Maratus cuspis Otto & Hill 2019

The species name cuspis refers to the appearance of a dark "spearhead" surrounded by flames on the dorsal opisthosoma. As males display, they rotate the fan on one side and then the other while holding legs III in a bracketing position around the fan. When they switch the side to which they are rotating the fan, they execute a very fast kick with one of their legs III. At times they bring legs III close together to tightly bracket the "spearhead."
