Nemesia Berlandi
Fagilde's trapdoor spider (''Nemesia berlandi'') or buraqueira-de-Fagilde in Portuguese, is a trapdoor spider of the family Nemesiidae, currently only known from Fagilde and the adjacent village of Vila Garcia, both in the Mangualde municipality of the Beira Alta region of Portugal, in the isolated slopes of the River Dão valley. Considered one of the rarest spiders on earth, this species had not been scientifically recorded for nearly a century, since the first specimens were collected prior to 1931 for their scientific description, and it is feared that the sole specimens known were destroyed in the great Bocage Museum fire of 1978. This species was described by the Portuguese science pioneer Amélia Bacelar and her husband, Fernando Frade. The scientific name ''N. berlandi'' was chosen by the couple to honor their colleague Lucien Berland, from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. The common name is a reference to the site where it was originally found, in Fagilde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...

Spiders Of Europe
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 50,356 spider species in 132 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been debate among scientists about how families should be classified, with over 20 different classifications proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders (as with all arachnids) differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel, however, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had a separat ...
