Since 1999, the spider has been the subject of an email hoax claiming that it was a fatal spider found lurking under toilet seats. Lately it has also appeared on Facebook. Posts commonly report of it being found world-round, suggesting everyone must take precautions. No such events appear to have occurred, and the story is considered an urban legend.
Males can reach a length of 8–9 mm and Females 9–11 mm. The male is very dark, with white markings, and red hairs around the eyes. The female is light yellowish, with a very white cephalus and red rings surrounding the narrow black rings round the eyes. Two longitudinal bright red stripes are present on the body. They appear in Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, India, and Bhutan. Telamonia Dimidiata are non-venomous and produce no toxin significant to humans.
