Sorry for the change of mind, at first I really thought it was closely related to Thiania bhamoensis because it reflects bright blue color just like it but now since I saw this picture showing a clearer photo of it, I realized that it looks a little different from other Thiania.

In this picture, when it's white patterns aren't shiny blue, it looks more like Salticus genus. I think this spider ought to have it's own new genus.

Another jumper I guess.. The pattern is beautiful!! I've heard about some zebra salticidaes. Might be one of the relatives.. :-)
