Hunstman Spider

Lovely spotting!

According to the Spiders Of Borneo guide book by Joseph Koh (published this year - 2014), it still could not be identified. Modern arachnologists have already collected specimens, studied the male and female and recorded their habitat and distribution. However, instead of declaring it a new species and giving it a name, they still need to find out whether it has already long described. This takes a lot of time because many scientific reports on discovery of new species are written hundreds of years ago. Many of these original descriptions are not written by official scientist so the descriptions are poorly detailed.

Good action shots!

This species can be found From Singapore to Borneo. Arachnologists are well aware of this species but they still could not publish a species name for it yet.
