The color pattern suggests that this could be a subadult of an undescribed species in which the male has a yellow dorsal cephalic (head) area. The species was first discovered in northern Kentucky on the Ohio border, and is now known south to Georgia.

Moved from Jumping Spiders. It looks like this might be a subadult M. inclemens. That is the expected species in Kentucky and your spider does not fit the descriptions for similar species in Barnes, 1955.

Thanks

Can you tell me why it dose not fit the description. What is the difference in the expected species and this one?

Maevia

According to Richman et al. 2012, only M. inclemens has been found in Kentucky. The only species that approaches in range is M. intermedia which has records from Tennessee. These two species are very similar in appearance and I made the identification by range primarily; perhaps a more conservative identification of Maevia species would be better unless you have photographs of genitalia.

Thank you

For the information. I was just curious. Dr. Edwards had ID some as the M.inclemens , I was just wondering what the difference was.
