The clypeus is solid black, but interrupted by a prominent tuft of long white setae extending to the front between the AME. From the front, the pedipalps are black with a prominent line of bright white setae on their anterior margins. Since the pedipalps are normally rotated to meet at the median, these white setae comprise an uninterrupted horizontal band separating the black clypeus from the black dorsal cymbia. The eye region is black, with connected anterior and lateral bands of bright white setae, and a separate transverse band of white setae across the middle. There is a wider transverse white band behind the PLE, separated into two bands on either side that extend toward the margin of the carapace. There is no marginal band of the carapace, however, and the sides and rear are black.</paragraph>

The dorsal pattern is unique and skeleton-like, with a pattern of dark red to black scales arranged in four longitudinal bands toward the front, and five larger transverse bands behind these, on a background of iridescent blue scales. This pattern is punctuated by bright white setae comprising an anterior marginal band, a narrow anterior median band, and four tufts of longer white setae on either side. One more tuft of long white setae is present on either side of the spinnerets, which are black with tufts of white distal setae, more visible when these are extended during courtship display. The underside of the opisthosoma and the coxa of legs III and IV are light brown with bright lateral bands of white setae, and otherwise scattered white setae, fading to yellow or white in ethanol. The sternum, coxae of legs I and II, labium, and endites are dark brown in living spiders.</paragraph>

. Pedipalp movement relative to the preceding frame is indicated with arrows. Movement of the pedipalps is generally synchronous and bilaterally symmetric. They are often raised in more than one step (in this example in two steps shown in frames 2-3 and 6), then rapidly lowered (frame 9). This display may occur in the absence of a female, as shown here, or as a component of the fan dance. As in other salticids, this frequent flicker appears to advertise the presence of the male even when he is stationary.

displaying first to a female (at lower right in frames 1-6) on top of a narrow grass stem, then moving to display from the other side of the stem. Slight movements of the elevated and flexed right leg III are indicated with arrows (3-5). Display in either position involved very rapid movement of the spinnerets, and sometimes rapid lateral vibration of the elevated fan (frames 4-5). Between each brief episode of display (~0.6s above the stem as shown here), the male crouched low on the stem. Alternation between positions occurs many times throughout the courtship display, with ~1 change of position every 2s (0.5Hz).
