Sobasina platypoda is a jumping spider.

Name

platypoda "flat-footed" is based on the flattened dorsum of tibia 1 in both sexes.

Appearance

In contrast to other Sobasina species, in this one both sexes are quite similar. In males, however, the first legs are longer, in females the fourth. S. platypoda could at first be confused with Efate raptor.

Distribution

S. platypoda is only known from Viti Levu and Ovalau islands of Fiji.

gollark: The "typed" bit means that you can specify that the link is a "tag" or something, and that will be shown on both ends.
gollark: When you create a link on page X, it is shown as a backlink on page Y, *with* a snippet of the context surrounding the link.
gollark: Well, typed bidirectional contextual links.
gollark: Anyway, my idea is thus: "typed links".
