On 5 August 2022 Jurgen Otto and David Hill described a new species of peacock spider, Maratus ammophilus, in Peckhamia 273.1 The name is derived form latin, meaning sand loving and is a reference to the spider’s habitat. Maratus ammophilus is assigned to the fimbriatus species group, together with Maratus speculifer and Maratus fimbriatus, and previously also Maratus licunxini. However, as per Otto and Hill’s publication the latter is now regarded as a junior synonym of Maratus fimbriatus. A new form of this species is also described from Queensland. Also illustrated in this paper are two species of the fimbriatus group that remain unnamed but have been used in a DNA study by Girard et al (2021) and are there referred to as Maratus sp. “carmel” and Maratus sp. “flame”.
