Chilobrachys Brevipes
''Chilobrachys'' is a genus of Asian tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1892. They are found in India, Myanmar, Malaysia, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Sri Lanka. They are usually medium or large-sized, and they can stridulate by using small spines present on the chelicerae. Diagnosis They have special stridulating organs in their chelicerae, which are made of short spines. Males have a palpal bulb which ends in a long and slender blade like spine, females have one pair of spermathecha. The anterior eyes form almost a straight line. Their legs have a narrower scapulae at the tip of the metatarsus. Species it contains thirty-one species, found in Asia: *''Chilobrachys andersoni'' ( Pocock, 1895) – India, Myanmar, Malaysia *''Chilobrachys annandalei'' Simon, 1901 – Malaysia *''Chilobrachys assamensis'' Hirst, 1909 – India *''Chilobrachys bicolor'' (Pocock, 1895) – Myanmar *''Chilobrachys brevipes'' ( Thorell, 1897) – Myanmar *''Ch ...

Chilobrachys Fimbriatus
''Chilobrachys fimbriatus'', commonly known as the Indian Violet Earth Tiger Tarantula usually shortened to Indian Violet Tarantula, is a species of spider of the genus ''Chilobrachys''. It is endemic to India, and was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1899. Description Females live 20 to 25 years, while males only live to 5. The carapace is a light brown or golden color, the opisthosoma is a reddish brown color with black chevrons. The legs are a blueish greyish color, with a deep black femur. Habitat They live in the tropical regions of western India, near the coast. The average temperature is 27ºC, with average yearly precipitation of 2900mm. There are plants such as the coconut palm, Banyan and Sacred fig, with animals such as kingfishers, mouse deers, and Indian Giant Squirrel. Behavior They are burrowing tarantulas, which like most will try to flee at first, if consistently provoked it will probably bite, with their probably painful venom Venom o ...

Spermatheca
The spermatheca (pronounced plural: spermathecae ), also called receptaculum seminis (plural: receptacula seminis), is an organ of the female reproductive tract in insects, e.g. ants, bees, some molluscs, oligochaeta worms and certain other invertebrates and vertebrates. Its purpose is to receive and store sperm from the male or, in the case of hermaphrodites, the male component of the body. Spermathecae can sometimes be the site of fertilization when the oocytes are sufficiently developed. Some species of animal have multiple spermathecae. For example, certain species of earthworms have four pairs of spermathecae—one pair each in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th segments. The spermathecae receive and store the spermatozoa of another earthworm during copulation. They are lined with epithelium and are variable in shape: some are thin, heavily coiled tubes, while others are vague outpocketings from the main reproductive tract. It is one of the many variations in sexual reproduction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tamerlan Thorell
Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell (3 May 1830 – 22 December 1901) was a Swedish arachnologist. Thorell studied spiders with Giacomo Doria at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale de Genoa. He corresponded with other arachnologists, such as Octavius Pickard-Cambridge, Eugène Simon and Thomas Workman. He described more than 1,000 spider species during his time from the 1850 to 1900. Thorell wrote: ''On European Spiders'' (1869) and ''Synonym of European Spiders'' (1870-73). Taxonomic honors The Orb-weaver spider genus '' Thorellina'' and the jumping spider genus '' Thorelliola'' are named after him, as well as about 30 species of spiders: * '' Araneus thorelli'' (Roewer, 1942) (Myanmar) (Araneidae) * '' Gasteracantha thorelli'' Keyserling, 1864 (Madagascar) (Araneidae) * '' Leviellus thorelli'' (Ausserer, 1871) (Europe) (Araneidae) * '' Mandjelia thorelli'' (Raven, 1990) (Queensland) (Barychelidae) * '' Clubiona thorelli'' Roewer, 1951 (Sumatra) (Clubionidae) * '' Malamatidia t ...

Eugène Simon
Eugène Louis Simon (; 30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924) was a French naturalist who worked particularly on insects and spiders, but also on birds and plants. He is by far the most prolific spider taxonomist in history, describing over 4,000 species. Work on spiders His most significant work was ''Histoire Naturelle des Araignées'' (1892–1903), an encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. It was published in two volumes of more than 1000 pages each, and the same number of drawings by Simon. Working at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, it took Simon 11 years to complete, while working at the same time on devising a taxonomic scheme that embraced the known taxa. Simon described a total of 4,650 species, and as of 2013 about 3,790 species are still considered valid. The International Society of Arachnology offers a Simon Award recognising lifetime achievement. The Eocene The Eocene ( ) Epoch is a geological epoch that lasted from ...
