The anomalus View in CoL group

This proposed clade includes relatives of M. anomalus that can be distinguished by the presence of a blunt, bifurcated apex of the outer ring of the embolus above a shorter, sharply pointed inner apex of the male pedipalp. The female epigynum has heavily sclerotized (darker) ducts at the lateral and medial posterior margin of each fossa. Most have a pair of black spots toward the rear of the fan, and courtship display tends to be simple for most species. Recently a series of grassland peacock spiders from eastern Australia have been added ( Baehr & Whyte 2016, Otto & Hill 2017). Should the genus Maratus be divided in the future, members of this group may once again be associated with the genus group name Lycidas .
