[1] G. lanka normally moves by steadily stepping forward, pausing and then continuing again, accompanied by palp and leg waving.

By plucking upon the webs of other spiders(usually using their palps but occasionally their front legs as well) and making specialized vibratory signals, Gelotia lanka tries out different manners of plucking.

They seem to be very rare, as the scientists conducted jumping spider-related research in that region but only managed to find two adult female individuals of Gelotia lanka.

[2] Information on their ecological interactions apart from their predation on other spiders is still lacking.

This species is very similar in hunting strategy and some characteristics to the other spartaeine genera Brettus, Cyrba and to some extent Portia.
