Spiders of the mungaich group from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus), with one new species from Cape Arid Author Jürgen C. Otto Author David E. Hill text Peckhamia 2014 2014-01-01 112 1 1 35 journal article 29863 10.5281/zenodo.1292576 7cbbb845-2aae-45f8-acda-facd9e929699 1292576 urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B53D2909-07C3-4E9E-B8F2-C358650E78AF Maratus karrie Waldock 2013 This smaller species ( Figure 1 ) is reported from the southwestern corner of Australia. We have examined specimens collected by Darlington in 1931 from Margaret River ( Figure 12 :2, locality 1) and Pemberton (locality 2). The pattern of scales on the dorsal opisthosomal plate (fan) is similar to that of M. sarahae , but the spider is smaller ( Waldock 2013 ). We have given this spider the common name of Darlington's Peacock Spider ( Hill & Otto 2011 ). Many of its features are intermediate between those of M. mungaich and M. sarahae ( Table 1 , Figure 14 ), but perhaps more like the latter. We have previously considered this variety to be conspecific with M. sarahae ( Otto & Hill 2011b , 2012b ). The distinctive pattern of the fan, including the wide bands of iridescent scales, appears to place these specimens with M. sarahae , but some of the characters related to setation are more like those of M. mungaich . See Waldock's (2013) description of M. karrie for more details.
