Bathippus
Bathippus is a genus of jumping spiders.
This genus is very similar to the genus Canama.
Members of this genus are distributed throughout the Australasian region.
The genus name is derived from Βάθιππος, a Greek name.
Description
Females are 6 to 9 mm long, males up to 10 mm. Bathippus is a colorful, long-legged genus, with long, thin bodies. The males have long, robust, forward-pointing chelicerae. The colors differ between species, but the carapace is in most species orange, sometimes with lighter stripes. The opisthosoma is grey, sometimes with three or four pairs of dark grey marks. The legs are orange, with the latter two pairs lighter than those in front.
Habits
Bathippus species are often found wandering about on shrubs in rain forests or their vicinity.
