    I think this is a close match - Oxyopes javanus, although it is reported from India, not Sri Lanka.

      Yes, Thank you. I will find some time to create a wikipedia page, so I can identified it properly. Posted 11 years ago

        Yes, this is another way of doing it, until creating IDs in JD is available again. A few wikipedia pages exist for this species in langages other than English, but there is little information there. This species is a predator in rice fields. I found another description and an interesting article in English. Maybe you can find more information in your own language.
