Bavia sexpunctata is a species of jumping spider in the genus Bavia. It was first described by Carl Ludwig Doleschall in 1859 as Salticus sexpunctatus.[1] The species has a wide distribution across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, ranging from Malaysia and Indonesia to Japan and Australia.[1]
The species was originally described by Doleschall in 1859 as Salticus sexpunctatus based on a male specimen from Amboina.[2] Tamerlan Thorell later described the female in 1878 under the name Marptusa sexpunctata. Ludwig Carl Christian Koch independently described what is now recognized as the same species in 1879 as Acompse dulcinervis.[1] The species was transferred to the genus Bavia by Eugène Simon in 1905, when he synonymized it with Bavia dulcinervis.[1]
