Cosmophasis albipes |
Cosmophasis albipes is a species of jumping spider in the genus Cosmophasis. [1] The type specimen of the species is a female, collected on 1 August in nowadays Guinea. [2]
The females' cephalothorax is light fawn, the cephalic part has a large black spot that covers the posterior eyes, arching before the dimple, the thoracic part having a blackish oblique zone. Chelicerae are brown, darker than cephalothorax, mouthparts are very fawn, and abdomen is whitish, with four white-speckled blackish lines, the first pair going to the middle, the last touching the spinnerets, and black hairs. Both the underside and spinnerets are white. [2]
The type locality is from Macenta, French Guinea. [1] [2]
It is assigned to the genus Cosmophasis due to having lateral spines on the anterior metatarsals. It is closely related with the genus Telamonia. [2]
