Cocalus sp. ♀ (Selangor)

I found these unusual Jumping Spiders of the sub-family Spartaeinae, have a different eye arrangement compared to other Jumping Spiders. Whereas the posterior median eyes (i.e., the eyes in the second row) of most Jumping Spiders are tiny, there is a category of Jumping Spiders whose posterior median eyes are fairly big. These include spiders in the genera Cocalus, Phaeacius, Portia and Spartaeus. This spider are found on tree brunches on nearby forest. These Jumping Spiders measures about 11mm.
