The fimbriatus View in CoL group

This small group includes three species, all with an embolus that is shaped like a wheel with two rims. M. fimbriatus has been found at a number of locations in the grazed interior of New South Wales. The closely related M. licunxini was collected at Carnarvon Station Homestead in the interior of Queensland. These spiders are quite different from any other known Maratus , and their display includes the use of extended legs I. Male M. fimbriatus and M. licunxini have a spectacular fringe surrounding the fan, and a pair of bright white stripes interrupting its dark, glossy dorsal surface. The fan of the western M. speculifer is also dark and glossy, but smaller.
