The
Maratus pavonis
group
(
FIGURES 15
C, F, I, 16A‒I)
This group contains those species with an embolic disc which has a broad smooth rim and a broad bent embolic ridge with the embolic opening at the frontal end (
Fig. 15
F). The lateral process of the embolic disc has a pointed tip and zig-zag longitudinal ridges (
Fig.

I).
Further SEM examination of the embolic discs of known and other putative
M. pavonis
specimens will clarify if the palpal characters shown in
M. pavonis var nornalup
are also present elsewhere in the
Maratus pavonis
group.
