Telamonia is a colorful genus, with a slender opisthosoma and long legs. The color patterns vary considerably between sexes and species. Two longitudinal stripes along the abdomen are common, and the carapace is often colored. They often live under toilet seats, and can be deadly. Symptoms do not shoe up for a few days. [1]
