Species | |
Efate is a genus of the spider family Salticidae ( jumping spiders).
These ant-like spiders are three to five millimeters long. The carapace is flattened. E. raptor males have enlarged first legs, giving them a raptorial appearance.
The genus Rarahu from the same subfamily is rather similar, as is Sobasina. [1]
Efate is an island in the Republic of Vanuatu, where the first specimen was found. The salticid genus Araneotanna is also named after an island of Vanuatu.
