Type material.
Holotype male (specimen JK 11.12.24.0006), in LKCNHM, from Brunei: Ulu Temburong National Park, Canopy Walk Trail, 4.5522°N, 115.1578°E, J. K. H. Koh 24 Dec. 2011. Paratype female (specimen SWK12-1934, in UBCZ), from Malaysia: Sarawak: Mulu Nat. Pk., Botanical Trail, 4.0406°N, 114.8170°E to 4.0404°N, 114.8176°E, 50 m el. 16 March 2012 Maddison/Piascik/Ang WPM#12-044. Paratype female (specimen SWK12-1991, in UBCZ), also from Mulu Nat. Pk., Kenyalang Trail, 4.0229°N, 114.8128°E to 4.0228°N, 114.8134°E, 55 m el. 17 March 2012 Maddison/Piascik/Ang WPM#12-047.
Etymology.
Named in honour of Christa Deeleman-Reinhold, whose extensive work on southeast Asian spiders has greatly increased our knowledge of the area’s fauna. She has discovered and described over 350 new species, including 54 new salticids. Other names: In Maddison (2015b) and WPM’s field or lab notebooks the informal code for this species was “BVBGB”. This species is shown in Koh and Bay 2019 as " Bavia " sp. C Two-lined long-bellied jumping spider; the upper photograph on p. 208 is of the holotype.
Diagnosis.
Very similar to M. menghaiensis , and like it smaller and more Indopadilla -like in body form than M. draconis and M. jubatus (shorter first legs, more elongate abdomen). Differs from M. menghaiensis in the longer epigynal openings, and in details of the palp’s bulb. In view from the retrolateral, the embolus is first directed to the distal then quickly turns dorsally ( M. menghaiensis , embolus begins toward the dorsal). When the embolus comes out from behind the tegulum it is directed slightly proximally (slightly distally in M. menghaiensis ). The embolus is thinner near the tip than in M. menghaiensis .
Description.
Male (based on holotype, specimen JK.11.12.24.0006; living holotype shown on p. 208 of Koh and Bay 2019). Carapace length 2.9; abdomen length 4.0. Carapace (Fig. 222 View Figures 215–224 ) black except for brown around fovea. Cream scales form a band crossing the thorax behind the PLEs, a small streak on the midline of the thoracic slope, and a narrow band along the lateral margins. Clypeus dark but centrally with a cluster of erect white scales that overhang the chelicerae. Chelicerae simple, vertical, dark. Plurident. Palp pale except for dark femur. Embolus long, arising retrolaterally before curling under the bulb prolaterally then proceeding distally (Figs 215-217 View Figures 215–224 ). A short spur diverges from the embolus before it turns distally (Figs 215 View Figures 215–224 , 216 View Figures 215–224 ). RTA vertical except for a bend and curl distally. Endite with small sharp corner, similar but smaller to that in the larger species of Maripanthus . Legs pale honey coloured except for first, which is black in all segments except the tarsus. Third and fourth legs darker near more distal joints. Abdomen thin, dark, with a pale mid-dorsal band, just lateral to which are indistinct longitudinal streaks of white scales.
Female (based on paratype, specimen SWK12-1934). Carapace length 3.7; abdomen length 5.0. Carapace as in male, but slightly paler in integument. Chelicerae with three promarginal and five retromarginal teeth. Legs as in male but with first legs only slightly darker than the others. Abdomen brown with central pale chevroned band, and thin white streaks as in male. Epigyne (Fig. 218 View Figures 215–224 ) similar in conformation to M. draconis and M. jubatus , but with atria smaller and copulatory ducts not so compacted.
Additional material examined.
One female (specimen JK.12.02.04.0010, in LKCNHM) from Brunei: Belait, Trail To Wasai Teraja Secondary Forest, 4.2911°N, 114.4231°E, J. K. H. Koh 4 February 2012.
