Figure 7 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 7. Positions during fan dance of holotype (♂#1, 1-6) and paratype (♂#2, 7-9) male M. avibus facing a female. Although this can vary, the elevated legs typically form four sides of a hexagon bracketed the raised and extended fan from the front, just in front of that fan. 1, Note inflation and extension of the posterior opisthosoma, including display of a patch of bright white setae associated with the anal tubercle above the fan.
Figure 24 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 24. Front views of a male M. sarahae (♂#5), displaying with elevated fan and extended legs III. 1, The dark carapace contrasts with the cover of long white setae covering the pedipalps and legs (except for the darker patella-tibia III). 2, Detail of extended leg LIII, showing fringes of long setae above the femur, and beneath the femur, patella, tibia, and metatarsus. Long black setae are mixed with white setae under the patella and tibia. The distal tarsus also has a thick brush of black setae, not to be confused with the grey tenent setae of the claw tufts that are not visible in this view.
Figure 1 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 1. Photographs (1-3) and approximate drawings (4-6) of the extended male opisthosomal fan of species in the mungaich group of the genus Maratus. Photographs show fans of living spiders. Drawings are based on descriptions (Waldock 2013) or, in the case of M. karrie, on specimens collected by Darlington that we examined. Waldock described the iridescent scales of these spiders (blue in drawings 4-6) as 'bright blue to rose-gold' under halogen lights, and did not distinguish the appearance of living animals from specimens under alcohol. Our examination of the scales of M. karrie (Figure 14; Hill & Otto 2011), as well as photographs of the M. caeruleus holotype, suggest that the colour of the iridescent background in these drawings is similar to that shown in the photographs. Each scale bar = 1.0 mm. Scale bars associated with each photograph are based on our records. Scale bars associated with each drawing are based on the length of each respective spider in Waldock's (2013) text description and generally do not agree with the scale bars in her figures.
Figure 36 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 36. Views of the eastern part of the Stirling Range National Park where Maratus sarahae has been found at higher elevations.
Figure 4 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 4. Views of the fan or dorsal opisthosomal plate of M. avibus. 1, Extended fan of the holotype (♂#1). Note the hyperextension of femuro-patellar and patello-tibial joints of leg LIII, at right. 2, Right posterior margin of folded fan of the holotype (♂#1), showing the tightly packed arrays of iridescent and orange or red-orange pigmented scales that give the fan its colour. 3, Extended fan of paratype (♂#2). 4, Top of folded fan of a paratype specimen in alcohol (♂#3). The orange scales of the posterior band of this spider are not visible and may have worn off. 5, Ventral view of living paratype (♂#2). Note how the folded flaps of the fan meet at the venter. 6, Detail of scales covering the left side of the folded fan of a paratype (♂#3).
Figure 34 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 34. Front view of four different Maratus sarahae males as they displayed ('fan dance') to females. Each spider had three irregular longitudinal bands of dark red scales on the optic quadrangle; the carapace was otherwise quite dark. Note the black setae covering the distal tarsus III of each spider, and the prominent fringe of long setae on the underside of tibia III (white and black setae) and metatarsus III (white setae only). Flexion of legs III at the tibio-metatarsal joint (1, arrow) was observed frequently in this species. As with M. mungaich, a series of intermittent and sudden lateral rotations of the extended and elevated fan, to either side, was an important part of this display.
Figure 14 in Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid
Figure 14. Two male Maratus karrie (1-2, 3-4) collected by P. J. Darlington in 1931. Enumerated characters are listed in Table 1. To reveal the colours of their setae, both specimens were air-dried for a brief period of time, then quickly returned to an ethanol solution for preservation. Pigments such as those associated with red scales do not survive a long period of immersion in alcohol. Photos by D. E. Hill, released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
