Gaius (spider)
''Gaius'' is a genus of large mygalomorph spiders in the family Idiopidae. Erected in 1914 by William Joseph Rainbow, for much of its history the genus contained only one species, ''Gaius villosus''. More species were added in 2018. All are endemic to Western Australia. Description Species of ''Gaius'' are large spiders, usually dark brown or black. Females have a body length of around , males around . The carapace has a dense fringe of hairs (setae) along the sides. The abdomen is oval, densely covered with hairs. Males have pedipalps with a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA), which in most species is large and long. Females have a pair of simple, widely spaced spermathecae. Taxonomy The genus ''Gaius'' was erected by William Joseph Rainbow in 1914 for his new species ''Gaius villosus''. In 1957, Barbara York Main transferred ''G. villosus'' (then still the only species of ''Gaius'') to the genus ''Anidiops'', noting the inadequacy of many characters used in mygalomorph ta ...

''Gaius villosus'' is a species of spider in the family Idiopidae (armored trapdoor spiders) found in Western Australia in a variety of different habitats. Originally described in 1914 as ''Gaius villosus'' by William Joseph Rainbow, in 1957 it was transferred to ''Anidiops'' by Barbara Main (a genus no longer recognized). In 2017, it was returned to ''Gaius Gaius, sometimes spelled ''Gajus'', Kaius, Cajus, Caius, was a common Latin praenomen; see Gaius (praenomen).

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

World Spider Catalog
The World Spider Catalog (WSC) is an online searchable database concerned with spider taxonomy. It aims to list all accepted families, genera and species, as well as provide access to the related taxonomic literature. The WSC began as a series of individual web pages in 2000, created by Norman I. Platnick Norman Ira Platnick (December 30, 1951 – April 8, 2020) was an American biological systematist and arachnologist. At the time of his death, he was a professor emeritus of the Richard Gilder Graduate School and Peter J. Solomon Family Curator Em ... of the American Museum of Natural History. After Platnick's retirement in 2014, the Natural History Museum of Bern (Switzerland) took over the catalog, converting it to a relational database. , 50,151 accepted species were listed. The order Araneae (spiders) has the seventh-most species of all orders. The existence of the World Spider Catalog makes spiders the largest taxon with an online listing that is updated regularly.
