This widespread and common spider is found from China to northern Australia, commonly associated with humans. The male is about 5mm body length and has a stripey abdomen and two stripes on the rear of the cephalothorax, but not particularly stripey legs despite the species name. There is an official record from Barrow Island in Western Australia, but this spider is known to be widespread across northern Australia. ♀ 6mm ♂ 5mm
