Jumping Spider

Description:

Salticidae; Heliophaninae; Carrhotus sannio Thorell, 1877. This little jumping spider has been one of my favourites for several years now. For much of that time, I called it a male Carrhotus sannio (based on information back in 2017 from a web site which is now defunct). Since I no longer had a good citation, I started referring to this spider as Carrhotus sp. However, I have had a comment from bayucca, suggesting that it is Carrhotus sannio. On some further checking, I can now say that I am pretty sure that C. sannio has been the correct identification all along. So I am amending this spotting and will also fix the others I have posted on Project Noah.

Habitat:

This spider was spotted climbing on an unidentified small tree near an old farmhouse, in the middle of some rice fields.
