Summary description from Wikipedia:

Euophrys bifida

Euophrys bifida is a species of jumping spider in the genus Euophrys that is endemic to South Africa. The species was first described in 2014 by Wanda Wesołowska, Galina Azarkina and Anthony Russell-Smith. It is a small spider, with a body that consists of a cephalothorax that is between 1.2 and 1.4 mm (0.05 and 0.06 in) long and an abdomen between 1.2 and 1.7 mm (0.07 in) long. The cephalothorax has a brown carapace, or topside, while the abdomen is marked by a mosaic pattern of dark patches on a light background. While the female has uniform light brown legs, the male's legs are generally darker but have yellowish-grey sections. The spider is most easily differentiated from others species in the genus by the unusual arrangement of its teeth. It has lines of stiff hairs in its mouth with two teeth to the rear. It is the cleft shape of these teeth that is the source of the species name.
