Tetragnatha squamata
The first 3 pictures are of a juvenile.. The last two pictures show an adult.. The second and third picture shows the special kind of web(like a hide out) these spiders make.. Last picture shows the eye structure, jaws and stings of this spider..
I agree with vipin.baliga's suggestion.
I wonder why this species is named after a reptile order.
Thank you very much for the ID Vipin.. I was searching for this from a very long time indeed..!!!
Yes chunxingwong.. Long Jawed orb weavers are normally brown colored here and i also have spotted a brown colored long jawed orb weaver.. But, this is somewhat different from others..
It's long abdomen and legs support your suggestion, the long jawed orb weaver.
It's eye patterns matches too except it's eye shapes are a little different.
Might be from an uncommon genus of the long-jawed spider.
Hi... Sumukh... Take a look...
In Western Ghats many Insects are not yet given ID as less studied.

No ChunXingWong.. Both the spiders are of same species.. First three photos are of a juvenile, the next two photos it is an adult spider.. Can this be a "Long-Jawed Spider"..??
Friends, i have uploaded some more photos of this spider so that it may help finding out the ID of this species.. ID Suggestions please..
I'll be glad too if it's ID is found because I have one unidentified spider that looks quite similar to it.
Thanx chunxingwong.. I've nt found the ID of tis species anywhere after searching so many sites..:-(
I don't think it's a Thomisidae.
It's eye patterns are similar but it's legs are to long and thin to be a Thomisidae.
I've only seen those "scaly" abdomens in web-producing spiders.
