Figures 47-54. 47-50, After her clutch was secured with a in Notes on the jumping spider Brettus cingulatus in Karnataka (Araneae: Salticidae: Spartaeini)

Figures 47-54. 47-50, After her clutch was secured with a silk covering, the same female (39-46) left her nest to capture and feed on a nematoceran fly. 51, After feeding this female returned to guard her clutch. 52-54, About one hour later an adult male mated with this female as she guarded her clutch of eggs. The inflated right tegulum of the male can be seen clearly in (54). Whether or not mating of females in this situation is a common occurrence in Brettus cingulatus is not known, but the exposed position of females as they guard their nest certainly makes this possible.

Figures 31-38. Adult female and adult male under separate leaves. 31, Later in the day the nest site occupied by the previous female was unoccupied. 32, This adult male was present under a leaf near the nest site. 33, Detail of (33). 34, Late on the next day this adult female occupied the nest site. Based on scale pattern this appears to be the female observed previously at this site (29-30). 35-38, On the next day this female continued to occupy the nest site (38, inset at lower right) as an adult male rested beneath a different leaf at a distance (38, inset at upper left).

This may represent the same individual but molting was not observed. 28, Later in the day the adult female (26-27) left the nest site and this adult female may represent the same individual hunting on a nearby stem. 29-30, On the next day the nest site was occupied by this well-fed adult female which, based on details of the dorsal scale pattern, was not the previous female (26-27) at this site.

Figures 8-14 in Notes on the jumping spider Brettus cingulatus in Karnataka (Araneae: Salticidae: Spartaeini)

Figures 8-14. Penultimate female under leaf accompanied by adult male. Although the emergent spiderlings (instar 2, Figures 4-5) resemble the darker adult female, older immatures of both sexes are light orange. The area on this leaf occupied by this penultimate female, covered by a thin layer of silk, was occupied five days earlier by a different female guarding her eggs (6-7). The fate of that female and her brood is not known.
