Frigga crocuta

The original description by Taczanowski provides detailed morphological characteristics of both male and female specimens. Males have a total length of 8.5 mm, while females reach 10 mm. The cephalothorax is robust and elevated, with the thorax strongly rounded at the sides. The head is about as long as it is wide and only slightly distinct from the thorax, with a strongly inclined back and elevated clypeus. The eye arrangement is regular, with the anterior lateral eyes having a diameter almost three times smaller than the median eyes. The abdomen is fusiform, swollen near its base, somewhat longer and much narrower than the cephalothorax. The mandibles are vertical and very strong, armed in the middle of their length with a prominent knot on their outer edge. The coloration is variable but follows a consistent pattern. The front of the cephalothorax up to half the length of the thorax is bright reddish-brown, with the posterior part being darker brown. All eyes are mounted on a black spot. The interocular area is covered with light yellowish down that becomes reddish at the front. The abdomen shows considerable variation in coloration, typically with a pale yellowish base color and various brown markings and patterns.
