dc:description"Figure 92. Ventral views of the epigynum of six female Maratus vespa, in alcohol. 1 - 2, Ventral view of dissected epigynum. 3, Dorsal (interior) view of dissected epigynum, showing the extensive, sclerotized ducts posterior to the large posterior spermathecae. 4, Anterodorsal (oblique interior) view, showing how the sclerotized ducts lie above the posterior spermathecae. 5 - 10, Normal, ventral views of the epigyna of intact specimens.";
dc:description"Figure 97. Interaction of male and female Maratus vespa during courtship. 1 - 12, Selected, sequential frames from a 25 fps video of courtship, identified by numbered green rectangles at the top of the chart. Respective positions of the male and female during 276 s of this courtship are shown in the chart. Male positions with the fan turned to the extreme left, elevated and centered, and then turned to the extreme right were plotted and connected with blue lines. Female positions facing the fan in each of these positions were also plotted and connected with red lines. Female turns to face the fan (either the center or one of the flaps exposed to the side) tended to lag movements of the fan by several seconds.";
dc:description"Figure 100. Consecutive frames from a 25 fps video of display by a male Maratus vespa, showing ' pincher' movement of legs III above the carapace (double or paired arrows at top), accompanied by limited movement of the fan from side to side (arrows) and some side-stepping (large arrows in 15, 16, 26). All arrows indicate movement relative to the previous frame. The pedipalps were held apart to reveal the black face and chelicerae during this display.";
dc:description"Figure 1. Localities for seven new Maratus species from the southern coast of Western Australia and South Australia. Maratus albus and M. lobatus are widely distributed. M. australis and M. vultus are each known from two localities near the southern coast of Western Australia. Each of the other three species (M. bubo, M. tessellatus, and M. vespa) has been found at a single locality in the southwestern corner of Australia, south of Perth.";
