Cosmophasis sp.
Small jumping spider to 3-4 mm long. Abdominal pattern is similar to Cosmophasis micarioides but the head does not have the coloured iridescent blue/brown bands. Beautiful iridescence on the head of this specimen (blue, yellow, pink) and blue bands on the legs.
Seen on Ageratum on edge of forest at James Cook University, Cairns QLD
Robert Whyte (www.arachne.org.au) has suggested that it is a juvenile and as such hard to ID to species.
