Thomisus citrinellus

Males are notably smaller than females, measuring approximately about 2.6 mm in length according to the original description. The species shows considerable variation in coloration and markings. In males, the general appearance and coloration resembles that of Thomisus onustus, but the legs are proportionally shorter. The abdomen is generally of a uniform mottled yellowish color but more oval in form. Both the abdomen and cephalothorax have yellow coloration, with the cephalothorax showing yellow-brown sides and being covered with small but conspicuous tubercles, each topped with a short, strong, pale-colored spine. Females are considerably larger than males. The cephalothorax resembles that of males with yellow coloration, white ocular prominences and face, and broad longitudinal deep yellow-brown bands on either side. The legs are yellow with irregular cretaceous white and red-brown markings. The abdomen is strongly rounded at the rear but has a more angular front portion, showing considerable variation in coloration from pale whitish yellow to examples with brownish markings.

T. citrinellus has been recorded from a wide range of locations including the Mediterranean region, various parts of Africa, the Seychelles, Yemen (both mainland and Socotra Island), Iraq, and possibly Iran. The species appears to have been collected from locations as diverse as Egypt, South Africa, and the Middle East.
