Magam Ornamental Tarantula (Poecilotheria vittata), also called Pedersen's ornamental or the ghost ornamental, is an arboreal tarantula endemic to Sri Lanka. The IUCN Red List treats it as a synonym of the Indian species Poecilotheria striata, though other local sources and the World Spider Catalog have at times treated it as a distinct species native to both India and Sri Lanka.
