== Etymology == The first recorded specimen of ''C. lami'' is a male collected on 3 May 1987 by Joseph Beatty and E.R. Berry from Fiji on shrub foliage in Lami, Fiji and the species was named after it (the location). The name was first published in January 1997 along with ''Ascyltus similis'', ''Ascyltus rhizophora'', ''Bavia fedor'', ''Bavia sonsorol'', ''Cosmophasis arborea'', ''Cosmophasis muralis'', ''Flacillula nitens'', ''Ligurra opelli'', ''Thorelliola dumicola'', and ''Trite ponapensis''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Berry|first1=James W.|last2=Beatty|first2=Joseph A.|last3=Prószyński|first3=Jerzy|date=1997-01-01|title=Salticidae of the pacific islands.

==Ecology== Although little is known about its ecology,<ref name=":5" /> it is known that ''Cosmophasis lami'' are peridomestic carnivorous arthropod predators.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Cosmophasis_lami|website= biodiversity.org.au| title = Cosmophasis lami}}</ref> Males do not exhibit stereotypical behavior while in a fight between other males in a study.<ref name=":4" /> Common behaviour of the males include vertical “pumping” movements of the pedipalps and continual vertical movement of the abdomen.<ref name=":4" />
==Relations with humans== ''Cosmophasis lami'' is called ''homura-haetori'' (flame fly-removal) in Japanese,<ref name=":1" /> and is not considered a pest. In Taiwan, it is called as ramayyu jumping spider"(拉邁宇跳蛛) or "lamaiyu jumping spider" (拉邁宇跳蛛).<ref>{{Cite web|title=蜘蛛圖鑑(蠅虎科)|url=http://gaga.biodiv.tw/new23/cp04_63.htm|access-date=2022-01-20|website=gaga.biodiv.tw}}</ref>
