Description
Synagelides cavaleriei is a small jumping spider. Males measure approximately 3.8 mm in total body length, with the cephalothorax being 1.7 mm long and 1.3 mm wide at its broadest point. Females are slightly smaller at about 3.6 mm total length with a cephalothorax measuring 1.5 mm long and 1.15 mm wide. The cephalothorax is orange-brown in coloration with a distinctive black border along the front margin that extends to the posterior lateral eyes. The posterior third of the abdomen is glossy brown-black, while the remaining dorsal surface features two large, brownish-yellow triangular markings that connect narrowly in the middle. Males possess distinctive palpal modifications typical of the genus, with the palpal patella being notably enlarged and barrel-shaped. The tibia bears two apophyses on its outer lower margin - a posterior hook-like process and an anterior elongated sigmoid process.
