Habrocestum hongkongiense

H. hongkongiense has been recorded from China, specifically from Hong Kong where the type specimen was collected.^[1][2]

H. hongkongiense is a small jumping spider with the typical abdominal pattern of the genus Habrocestum, featuring two large white spots that in this species are fused together.^[2] The male has a dark brown cephalothorax with an indistinct median longitudinal line of white setae, and white hairs arranged in transverse lines on the eye field that form a white spot behind the junction of the anterior median eyes.^[2]

The male's first leg shows distinctive coloration with a dark brown femur, dorsally yellow patella, and a brown tibia that has a lighter yellow spot with white setae on the dorsal surface.^[2] The palpal organ is comparable to other Habrocestum species but differs in having two tibial apophyses and a long, slightly wavy embolus.^[2]
