Maratus harrisi is a species of the genus Maratus (peacock spiders), an Australian member of the jumping spider family.[1] It was described in 2011 and is native to the Australian Capital Territory.[2]
The species is named after its discoverer, Stuart Harris, a Canberran vineyard worker and amateur photographer, who first came across the spider in Namadgi National Park in December 2008.[3] Harris posted a photograph of the spider to his Flickr account soon after and it was noticed by spider researcher David Hill.[4][5][6]
