Crab Spider 4 - Tmarus - Female
Baton Rouge, Brookhollow Drive, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
May 16, 2006
Size: Body length approx. 5 mm.
We are satisfied that this is in the genus Tmarus. We somehow happened to take a lateral view, which clearly shows the required features! If there is no comment to the contrary, it will be moved to the species page.
Key features:
Carapace protudes in front
Posterior tubercle on abdomen

No comment to the contrary -
We would have made the same choice - Tmarus. Wonder if Jeff will know the species?
