Description

Maratus fimbriatus

Otto & Hill 2016

Maratus fimbriatus Otto & Hill 2016a; Baehr & Whyte 2016; Whyte & Anderson 2017

Males extend and separate legs I to reveal the smooth anterior surfaces of the femora. Unlike most Maratus, they do not use legs III as part of this display. Found in grazed areas of the dry interior of north-central New South Wales and Queensland, with some variation between the two areas.
