Stagetillus is a monotypic genus of Southeast Asian jumping spiders containing the single species, Stagetillus opaciceps. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1885,[2] and is found in Indonesia , Philippines and Malaysia.[1]
Females are 6 mm (1⁄4 in) long, while males can grow up to 8 mm (1⁄3 in).[3] The carapace is a shiny yellowish-red with two dark stripes on the sides. The very narrow, long abdomen is dark purplish with elongated white marks on the sides and a transverse white mark near the spinnerets. The legs are yellow, except for the very robust front pair, which is dark with yellow tarsi.
