Goldband thyene jumping spider

It is the only spider in its group where both males and females have shiny crosswise bands on the back.

The male's bands are red and silver, while the female's are metallic brown and white.

It has eight eyes in three rows, and the two middle front eyes are almost twice as big as the ones beside them.

In males the front legs are the longest, but in females the back two pairs are the longest.

It was first described from spiders collected in Durban, South Africa.
