, mature specimens seen or photographed in Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, and East and West Malaysia possess only seven dorsal spots but with the eighth spot on the ventrum. In some juvenile females, there are only five dorsal spots on the opisthosoma. The number of spots on the carapace varies between two and four pairs in mature females. The general coloration of live male specimens varies from yellow to red.
