Augustaea Explained

Augustaea is a monotypic genus of ant-like Singaporean jumping spiders containing the single species, Augustaea formicaria. It was first described by C. Szombathy in 1915,[1] and is only found in Singapore.[2] They are about long, and placed close to Agorius.

Szombathy's drawings suggest that A. formicaria might belong to Orsima,[3] but no study has been published on it since its first description in 1915.
