I would appreciate some help with an ID for this one. A jumping spider, about 10mm long, slightly larger than cosmophasis. A distinctive, painted pattern on top or cephalothorax. Reddish eyes with white spectacle markings.
Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m.
I have photographed this distinctive jumper on five occasions and have failed to find an ID. Really hoping that someone can help me out with this special spider.

Hi Subin. Thanks for jumping in here.
Yes, I saw your telamonia spider and I am sure that Atul has correctly identified it as such. But there are obvious differences between the carapace patterns of yours and mine.
The pattern is consistent, as I have photographed this same spider from other locations several kilometers apart. I also have both sexes and the carapace pattern is the same for both.

Ideas for an ID anyone.
