Figure 2 in Exasperating taxonomy of the colourful ant-mimic Myrmarachne exasperans (Araneae: Salticidae: Astioida: Myrmarachinae)

Figure 2. Males representing six different species of Myrmarachne. 1, M. plataleoides (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1869) from Makunda Christian Hospital, Karimganj District, Assam (5 MAR 2014). This well-known species, with swollen distal chelicerae and a distinct constriction of the pedicel, is widely distributed in tropical south and southeast Asia. 2, M. smaragdina Cecarellli 2010, recently described from northern Queensland. This species is very similar to M. plataleoides, but the distal chelicerae are not as swollen. Before it was named, M. smaragdina was the subject of several published behavioural studies (Ceccarelli 2008, 2009). 3, M. maxillosa (C. L. Koch 1846) from Lombok (15 JUL 2014). 4, M. cornuta Badcock 1918 from Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia (3 FEB 2015). 5, Myrmarachne sp. from Fraser's Hill, Pahang, Malaysia (6 APR 2015). This species, with iridescent and colourful chelicerae, resembles M. exasperans, even to details of leg colouration. 6, Myrmarachne sp. from Fraser's Hill, Pahang, Malaysia (10 JUN 2010). See Hill (2010) for more photographs of Myrmarachne species.
