Maratus combustus is a species of peacock spider native to Australia .[1] The species was discovered together with Maratus felinus and Maratus aquilus by a research group from Monash University,[2] near Lake Jasper in the South West region of Western Australia.[3] However, the ranges of each species do not overlap.
Description
The spider has a medium-dark burnt orange colour on its abdomen.[4] Like other Maratus species, it is very small. Male spiders are brighter coloured than female spiders.[5]
