Telamonia elegans

The species shows sexual dimorphism typical of jumping spiders, with males and females differing in size and coloration.

Male. Adult males measure approximately 8 mm in total length, with the cephalothorax measuring about 3.5 mm in length and 2.5 mm in width. The cephalothorax is testaceous (yellowish-brown) with a broad black marginal band and distinctive red pubescence between the eyes on each side. The clypeus is black with white hairs along the margin. The front legs are darker, with femora, patellae and tibiae appearing blackish with a bluish tint, while the metatarsi and tarsi are testaceous except for black tips. The third and fourth pairs of legs are lighter, being mostly testaceous. The front legs bear distinctive fringes of long, dense hairs on the underside of the femora and patellae. The abdomen is subtestaceous above and on the sides, decorated with two narrow longitudinal red bands formed by pubescence, with yellow pubescence between them and whitish pubescence elsewhere. The underside is black.

Female. Females are larger than males, reaching approximately 10 mm in total length. The cephalothorax measures about 4.5 mm in length and 3.25 mm in width. Females have a less contrasting coloration pattern compared to males, with the red markings on the cephalothorax sometimes being obsolete. …

T. elegans is distributed across Southeast Asia, with confirmed records from Myanmar (including Tharrawaddy), Vietnam, and Indonesia (Sumatra).
