Figure 3 in Males of a new species of Jotus from Australia wave a paddle-shaped lure to solicit nearby females (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 3. Adult Jotus frosti males photographed on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, by Jürgen C. Otto (28 OCT 2015). This impressive species is readily identified by the transverse band of white setae across the front of each pedipalp, the dark iridescent anterior femur I (2), and the combination of long black setae above and long white setae below each femur I.

Figure 2. Adult male Jotus auripes from Sydney. As viewed from above this type species for the genus Jotus is quite unremarkable and typical of males of this genus. From the front, however, the long iridescent setae of the pedipalps and the bright red-orange setae that cover the femora of legs I and II are distinctive. The female J. auripes is known but has not been formally described (Otto & Hill 2012a, 2012b).

Figure 6 in Males of a new species of Jotus from Australia wave a paddle-shaped lure to solicit nearby females (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 6. Undescribed male Jotus found near Denmark in Western Australia. This species has a distinct middorsal stripe on the opisthosoma, dark fringes under the femur, tibia, and metatarsus of legs I, and widely separated white stripes on the posterodorsal carapace. In most respects it is quite similar to the Jotus species that have been described from southeastern Australia.

Figure 10. Details of living male Jotus remus. 1, Above the dark red-orange fangs can be seen fringes of brown setae projecting from each distal paturon. 2, Eye region of holotype male, covered with off-white to red-brown setae. 3, Right legs I- III. Note the light colour of tarsus I and the fringes of short but stout off-white setae associated with the tarsi of legs I and II. 4, Tarsus IV also has anterior and posterior fringes of stout, off-white setae. Note the erect spines associated with an increase of internal hydrostatic pressure as this spider prepared for a jump. Normally (5) these are not erect. 5-7, The anterior spinnerets are black and glabrous, usually covered by the setose posterior pair (6). Note the release of a dragline from an anterior spinneret (7). 8-11, Views of the distal right (8-9, 11) and left (10) leg III. Prominent anterior and posterior fringes form a paddle-like structure. The articulation of the metatarsus and tarsus is very narrow, and the tarsus is flattened somewhat.

Figure 5. A different undescribed Jotus male from Barrington Tops National Park. The difference between this male and the one shown in Figure 4 may be in part due to wear, but this male is much darker without evident banding of the legs, and without white setae on metatarsus I. Differences between Jotus species may be quite subtle.

Figure 4. Undescribed Jotus male (1-4) and a Jotus (conspecific?) female (5-6) photographed at Barrington Tops National Park, New South Wales, by Jürgen C. Otto (1 NOV 2015). This male has a prominent black brush beneath tibia I, but no special ornamentaion of the pedipalps. The pattern of scales on the carapace and opisthosoma is close to that of J. frosti and J. remus.

Figure 18. Epigyna of the nine female paratype Jotus remus in ethanol. The anterior direction is toward the top of the page. The anterior spermathecae are about the same size as the posteror spermathecae and are visible through the fossae. The septum between the fossae is generally wide.

Figure 23. Consecutive frames (25 FPS video) showing the vibration display of a male Jotus remus on top of a leaf. The female was directly below this leaf. Arrows indicate the relative position of legs I in each frame (up or down). At times the ~6/s cadence of this display doubled to ~12/s (15-20).
