About Burmattus albopunctatus (Thorell, 1895)
Burmattus albopunctatus is a medium-sized jumping spider. Males of this species have distinct characteristics in their palpal structure: the embolus is shaped like a distinctive sabre, there is a long retrolateral tibial apophysis that bends at its tip, and a cluster of curved bristles sits on the retrolateral cymbial projection. Females have characteristic reproductive anatomy, which includes a deep, heavily sclerotized epigynal pocket located forward of the epigastric furrow; slit-like copulatory openings that are typically hidden below prominent sclerotized rims; and a vulva made up of two pear-shaped receptacles connected by short, wide insemination ducts. Burmattus albopunctatus has a wide distribution across tropical and subtropical Asia. It has been officially recorded in India, China, Japan (specifically the Ryukyu Islands), Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. This species lives in a variety of environments, including secondary jungle, mangroves, tall grasslands, and understorey vegetation. It has been found at elevations between sea level and approximately 1500 meters.
