Figure 3 in Five new peacock spiders from eastern Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini: Maratus Karsch 1878 and Saratus, new genus)

Figure 3. Adult females of the four new grassland peacock spider species. Females within this group are very similar with respect to size and colouration and can be difficult to identify. 1-4, The female M. aurantius, like the male, has a narrow light brown stripe running along either side of the midline of the opisthosoma. These are less distinct than in the male and variable with respect to their colour and definition. These stripes can also be found, generally with less definition, in some female M. cinereus (7), or M. lentus (9). 5-12, Female M. cinereus (5-8) and M. lentus (9-12) have similar scale patterns on the dorsal opisthosoma. M. lentus females may have more distinct chevrons along the midline of the opisthosoma, but some M. cinereus females (8) also have these. 13-16, Like the male, the female M. neptunus has one median and two lateral dark stripes along the length of the dorsal opisthosoma, all well-defined.
