Description

The cephalothorax is quite flat, the carapace rather elongate oval and slightly flared near the front. The whole carapace is orange, with a black fringe around the eyes. The yellow brown abdomen is long and narrow, rounded at the front, with long straight, slightly diverging sides that curve to a point near the spinnerets. Several round tufts of white hair are found in pairs. The first two leg pairs are enlarged with weak ventral spines. The legs are generally yellow, with black tinging at the first pair.

Distribution

J. alboguttata has been found only in Sumatra.

Name

The species name is derived from Latin alboguttatus "white spotted".
