Description:
Spitting spiders have only 6 eyes, which are arranged in pairs in the middle of the forehead and on the sides.
The Scytodes species shown here had a body length of just under 9 mm and unicoloured legs without annulations or spots.
Note:
There are interesting posts by Rainer Breitling in the Forum europäischer Spinnentiere on the naming of this species.
