Figure 3 in Maratus nambung, a new peacock spider from the southwestern corner of Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 3. Fan dance by the type males for Maratus nambung, showing variations in the scale pattern of the fan. 9, Across the fan in the middle (inset rectangle) most pigmented scales are dull orange to orange, contrasting with the red-orange scales on other parts of the fan. In male M. bubo (Figure 2.1-2.2), all of these scales are bright, scarlet red. As shown here, the detailed pattern of pigmented orange scales varies somewhat between individuals. For example, in males 1 and 4-5 there is a small orange spot behind the central black spot. The amount of orange colour at the fringed lateral margins of the fan also varies, and is lacking in some individuals (e.g., 3-6, 8).

Figure 20 in Maratus nambung, a new peacock spider from the southwestern corner of Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 20. Selected sequential frames (100fps) from a video of a fan dance by a male Maratus nambung, facing a female, as viewed from the rear. During this sequence the male was moving toward the left. Here the fan was waved (arrows) at a low amplitude (2-16°) at 11 L/R cycles/s (11 Hz).

Figure 14 in Maratus nambung, a new peacock spider from the southwestern corner of Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 14. Selected frames (100fps) from a video of display by a male Maratus nambung, facing a female. This shows transition, with retracted flaps and lowering of the opisthosoma (1-4), from the fan dance to bilateral advertisement involving semaphore movements of the extended legs III. These movements were sometimes assymetrical (e.g., 11-13), and sometimes symmetrical (e.g. 9-10, 14-15).

Figure 21 in Maratus nambung, a new peacock spider from the southwestern corner of Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 21. Selected sequential frames (25fps) from a video of a fan dance by a male Maratus nambung, facing a female. During this sequence the male was moving toward the left. These frames were selected to illustrate successive positions of the elevated legs III during this display. Note the periodic flexion of metatarsi III (arrows) during this sequence (5 times in 1.12 s, or 4.5 Hz).

Figure 1. 1-3, ♀ Maratus bubo Otto & Hill 2016. 4-6, ♀ M. nambung, new species. The female M. nambung has more cover of white to off-white scales, but like M. bubo has a characteristic pattern of five white spots at the center of the dorsal opisthosoma (identified by green rectangles in 1.3 and 1.6).

Figure 23. Localities associated with members of the Maratus fimbriatus group, after Otto & Hill 2022. Except for two localities near Lake Goongarrie in the interior of Western Australia (records 11-12 in Table 1), most localities for M. playa (8) are near the Darling River, or in the interior to the northwest of the Darling River.

Figure 2. 1-2, J Maratus bubo Otto & Hill 2016. 3-4, J M in Maratus nambung, a new peacock spider from the southwestern corner of Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini)

Figure 2. 1-2, J Maratus bubo Otto & Hill 2016. 3-4, J M. cf. bubo, undescribed. Except for the bright red colour of pigmented scales on the fan, this form appears to be closer to M. nambung than to M. bubo. 5-6, J M. nambung, new species. M. bubo has a large fringe on tibia-metatarsi III, with a fan that is more rounded at the rear and marked in that place by three red lines. The other two species lack this fringe, but have a shorter fringe of black setae. The carapace of M. nambung (5-6) has a cover of brown (rather than dull red) scales, and pigmented scales of the fan are orange to red-orange rather than bright red, with a distinct black spot at the center.
