Abstract

The Australian endemic Peacock spider genus Maratus currently includes 97 species which are renowned for their elaborate courtship displays. Two new species are described from south-western Australia, M. fetcheri sp. nov. and M. harveyi sp. nov. Recently collected material has extended the range of M. madelineae Waldock, 2014. A brief summary of the courtship display for M. fetcheri sp. nov. is included.
