Figures

Figure 28. Changes in appearance of the opisthosomal fan of a male (♂#5) Maratus sarahae. 1-2, As the male displayed to a female, the orientation of the fan relative to incident and reflected light changed its brightness considerably. 3-4, Another example of a change in brightness related to the orientation of the fan. 5-6, Spider showing colour change related to humidity, ~40 s after removal from a vial containing moist cotton (~100% humidity, 5), and three minutes later after drying (6).

Figure 29. Dorsal and ventral views of a male (♂#5) Maratus sarahae. 1, Dorsal view of living spider. 2, Dorsal view of specimen, in preservative. 3, Ventral view of living spider. 4, Ventral view of specimen in preservative. Note the change of colouration of the normally blue-green iridescent fan scales when submerged in an aqueous solution. The many long white setae that cover the legs of this spider are also much less apparent when preserved. The carapace, with a marginal white band, is mostly dark and glabrous, with some dark brown to red brown scales. The generally grey colour of the cuticle of the living spider also differs from the yellowish colouration of the preserved specimen.
