I've seen female Hyllus diardi (Walckenaer, 1837) before; they are generally light brown or cream, and some are white.
Some time ago, I found a male in Pidie Jaya. Different from females, the males are black, the front two legs are longer, and the entire body is covered with golden fur.
Hyllus males and females have equally large bodies when compared to other jumping spiders in the family Salticidae, but the female's abdomen is usually fatter than the male's.
It can be said that Hyllus genera are the king of jumping spiders, so it is not surprising that they are commonly known as heavy spiders.
Here, I show some angles of the male Hyllus diardi that were captured by my smartphone camera.
