Unidentified Epocilla Jumper (♂)

Description:

This is a jumping spider that i found on the tree in my backyard. I don't have a idea what the species of this spider is. It body is brown with white stripes, and it have large front legs like a crab. The size of this spider is about 6 - 8 mm in length. It is either a male of Epocilla calcarata or Epocilla aurantiaca. Here the female one - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/136....

Habitat:

- Around the garden and bushes.

Notes:

- I hope, someone can help me to ID this spider.

Atul, what about this one? - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/136...

I found both spiders on the same tree (I think it is the female one). It is either Epocilla calcarata or Epocilla aurantiaca...

I agree with bayucca. It looks like a Jumping Spider. Very pretty markings!

Lanzz, I think yours is a Jumping Spider, Salticidae.
Same one as yours:

I did not find any info about a Viciria sp. which look similar to yours, but some other ones. Just a hint...
