Cosmophasis baehrae is a species of jumping spider found in Australia and the Moluccas,[1][2] and first described in 2012 by Marek Zabka and Julianne Waldock.[3] It is named after entomologist Barbara Baehr.[3][4]
Cosmophasis baehrae has the inner two forward looking eyes greatly enlarged, typical of the jumping spider family, Salticidae. Diagnostic for this species is a white bar on the carapace just behind the rearmost pair of eyes.[4] The body length of the male is 7 mm (0.28 in) and female 5 mm (0.20 in).[4]
