Entypesa
''Entypesa'' is a genus of African mygalomorph spiders in the family Entypesidae. It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1902. Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the funnel-web trapdoor spiders in 1985, then to the Entypesidae in 2020. It is a senior synonym of ''Pseudohermacha''. Species it contains six species, found in South Africa and on Madagascar: *'' Entypesa andohahela'' Zonstein, 2018 – Madagascar *'' Entypesa enakara'' Zonstein, 2018 – Madagascar *'' Entypesa fisheri'' Zonstein, 2018 – Madagascar *'' Entypesa nebulosa'' Simon, 1902 (type) – Madagascar *'' Entypesa rastellata'' Zonstein, 2018 – Madagascar *'' Entypesa schoutedeni'' Benoit, 1965 – South Africa Nomen dubium In binomial nomenclature, a ''nomen dubium'' (Latin for "doubtful name", plural ''nomina dubia'') is a scientific name that is of unknown or doubtful application.

Entypesa Andohahela
''Entypesa andohahela'' is a species of spider in the family Entypesidae, endemic to Madagascar. It was first described by Sergei Zonstein in 2018. The specific name ''andohahela'' refers to the locality in which the first described specimen was found, Andohahela National Park in south-eastern Madagascar. Description The male has a body length of about 12 mm. When preserved in alcohol, most of the upper surface of the cephalothorax The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind. (The terms ''prosoma'' and ''opisthosoma'' are equivalent to ''cepha ... and the most of the legs are brownish red. The pedipalps and the tarsi of the legs are a light yellowish brown. The surface of the abdomen is brownish grey, with small yellowish grey marks. The fourth leg is longest, at about 16 mm. The embolus of the palpal bulb is relatively short, tape ...

Mygalomorphae Genera
The Mygalomorphae, or mygalomorphs, are an infraorder of spiders, and comprise one of three major groups of living spiders with over 3000 species, found on all continents except Antarctica. Many members are known as trapdoor spiders due to them forming trapdoors over their burrows. Other prominent groups include Australian funnel web spiders and tarantulas, with the latter accounting for around one third of all mygalomorphs. Description This group of spiders comprises mostly heavy-bodied, stout-legged spiders including tarantulas, Australian funnel-web spiders, mouse spiders, and various families of spiders commonly called trapdoor spiders. Like the "primitive" suborder of spiders Mesothelae, they have two pairs of book lungs, and downward-pointing chelicerae. Because of this, the two groups were once believed to be closely related. Later it was realized that the common ancestors of all spiders had these features (a state known as symplesiomorphy). Following the br ...

Nemesiidae
Nemesiidae, also known as funnel-web trapdoor spiders, is a family of mygalomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1889, and raised to family status in 1985. Before becoming its own family, it was considered part of "Dipluridae". Description Nemesiidae are relatively large spiders with robust legs and a body that is nearly three times as long as it is wide. They are darkly colored, brown to black, though some have silvery hairs on their carapace. ''Atmetochilus'' females can grow over long. They live in burrows, often with a hinged trapdoor. This door is pushed up while the spider waits for passing prey. They rarely leave their burrows, catching prey and withdrawing as quickly as possible. Some of these burrows have a side tubes, but it is not certain whether '' Sinopesa'' builds burrows at all. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *''Amblyocarenum'' Simon, 1892 *'' Brachythele'' Ausserer, 1871 — Europe, Cyprus *'' Calisoga'' Chamberli ...

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 fossil spider species '' Cenotextricella simoni'' was named in h ...
