This jumper resembles Damoetas nitidus in many respects, having posterior median eyes closer to the anterior eyes than the posterior lateral eyes, longer first legs, and no abrupt or pronounced tapering of the cephalothorax rear, but is possibly not D. nitidus, the only described Damoetas, as nitidus means shining. This may be a new species of Damoetas, as yet undescribed. It's quite shaggy.
