Opisthoncus polyphemus

Opisthoncus polyphemus, also called the cyclops jumping spider, is a species of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae. It is found in New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand.

The males are 6 - 7 mm in length with the females slightly larger at 8-9mm, both with pale yellow-orange bodies with while markings. Its black eyes are made to look bigger by surrounding black circles giving rise to the polyphemus and Cyclops names.
