Liphistius Panching
''Liphistius'' is a genus of basal trapdoor spiders in the family Liphistiidae. They are found in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. Taxonomy The genus ''Liphistius'' was erected by Jørgen M. C. Schiødte in 1849. Schiødte spelt the name ''Lipistius''; this was corrected to ''Liphistius'' by Tamerlan Thorell in 1869, a change endorsed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 1970. ''Liphistius'' is from Greek , ('lack') and , ('web' in this context). Biology Female body lengths range from ; males are slightly smaller. They live in burrows in earthen banks, on some cave walls, and probably in forests. The burrow is sealed with a thin, circular, woven door, which is disguised with soil and moss. While they spend the day deep inside their burrows, at night they wait just below the door for insects, woodlice, and similar invertebrates that stumble over one of the seven silken threads that radiate from the entrance. With a reluctance to leave their burrows, t ...

Jørgen Matthias Christian Schiødte
Jørgen Matthias Christian Schiødte or Jørgen Christian Matthias Schiødte (20 April 1815 – 22 April 1884) was a Denmark, Danish entomologist, professor and museum curator. His special interest was in the beetles but he also worked on other arthropods. He was also a trained illustrator and copperplate engraver. Life and work Schiødte was born in Copenhagen to Mons (Magnus) Laurids S. (1775–1840) and Helene Maria Beck (1782–1833). He became interested in entomology as a schoolboy and was influenced as a teenager by Christian Drewsen. Drewsen introduced him to other entomologists including B. W. Westermann and Henrik Krøyer. He also became a member of the natural history association. The interest in entomology came in the way of his schooling and he finished school at the Borgerdyd School at Christianshavn only in 1832 and then went to study medicine. In 1837 he applied for funds to make collections of Danish insects. Using the funding he travelled and collected nume ...

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, 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 (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). 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 International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, 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 with 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 suc ...
