Brettus cingulatus is a species of spider of the genus Brettus. It is found in Myanmar and India.[1]
The species was first described in 1895 from a single specimen. The female was originally misidentified as another species, B. albolimbatus. Males and females look very different due to sexual dimorphism. Only in 2017 was the species rediscovered near Mumbai, India, far away from its original discovery in Myanmar.
The epithet "cingulatus" means "wearing a belt" in Latin, "albolimbatus" refers to white limbs.
