Description
The species name cinctipes is derived from the Latin for "banded legs".[5] Like other members of Attidops, it is considerably minute, with a body length of between two and three millimeters at maturity. It can be found on trees or woody surfaces, as its coloration allows it to camouflage against bark.[6]
