Nosferattus
''Nosferattus'' is a genus of Brazilian Salticidae, jumping spiders that was first described by G. R. S. Ruiz & Antônio Brescovit, Antônio Domingos Brescovit in 2005. The name is a combination of "Nosferatu (word), Nosferatu" and the ending ''-attus'', a common salticid genera suffix. They range from long. Males have a smooth, oval-shaped plate (scutum) on the upper surface of the opisthosoma (abdomen). ''Nosferattus'' can be distinguished from other genera in the tribe Sitticini by the presence of highly flattened pedipalps in males, and very long and coiled copulation ducts in females. They are likely related to ''Aillutticus'', which also has a high, broad carapace, rounded laterally behind the posterior lateral eyes, and a slightly convex cephalic region. Species it contains five species, found only in Brazil: *''Nosferattus aegis'' Ruiz & Brescovit, 2005 – Brazil *''Nosferattus ciliatus'' Ruiz & Brescovit, 2005 – Brazil *''Nosferattus discus'' Ruiz & Brescovit, 2005 ( ...

Sitticini
The Sitticini are a tribe of spiders in the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). The tribe has been divided into two subtribes, Aillutticina, with five Neotropical genera, and Sitticina, with five genera from Eurasia and the Americas. One genus is unplaced within the tribe. The taxonomy of the tribe has been subject to considerable uncertainty. It was clarified in 2020. Description The group is now primarily defined by molecular phylogenetic analysis. However, members can be distinguished from other salticids by the fourth leg being much longer than the third and by the absence of the retromarginal cheliceral tooth. Taxonomy The group was first described by Eugène Simon in 1901, under the name "Sitticeae". It was treated as the subfamily Sitticinae by various authors before being reduced to the tribe Sitticini by Wayne Maddison in 2015. The taxonomy of the tribe has been subject to considerable uncertainty; generic boundaries were changed repeatedly between 2017 and 2020. Fo ...

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 ...

Pedipalp
Pedipalps (commonly shortened to palps or palpi) are the secondary pair of forward appendages among Chelicerata, chelicerates – a group of arthropods including spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, and sea spiders. The pedipalps are lateral to the chelicerae ("jaws") and anterior to the first pair of walking legs. Overview Pedipalps are composed of six segments or articles. From the proximal end (where they are attached to the body) to the distal, they are: the coxa, the Arthropod leg#Trochanter, trochanter, the Arthropod leg#Femur, femur, the short Glossary_of_spider_terms#patella, patella, the Glossary_of_spider_terms#tibia, tibia, and the Arthropod_leg#Tarsus, tarsus. In spiders, the coxae frequently have extensions called Glossary_of_spider_terms#maxilla , maxillae or gnathobases, which function as mouth parts with or without some contribution from the coxae of the anterior arthropod leg, legs. The limbs themselves may be simple tactile organs outwardly resembling the legs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Opisthosoma
The opisthosoma is the posterior part of the body in some arthropods, behind the prosoma ( cephalothorax). It is a distinctive feature of the subphylum Chelicerata (arachnids, horseshoe crabs and others). Although it is similar in most respects to an abdomen (and is often referred to as such), the opisthosoma is differentiated by its inclusion of the respiratory organs ( book lungs or book gills) and the heart. Segments The number of segments and appendages on the opisthosoma vary. Scorpions have 13, but the first is only seen during its embryological development. Other arachnids have fewer; harvestmen, for instance, have only ten. In general, appendages are absent or reduced, although in horseshoe crabs they persist as large plate-like limbs, called opercula or branchiophores, bearing the book gills, and that function in locomotion and gas exchange. In most chelicerates the opisthosomal limbs are greatly reduced and persist only as specialized structures, such as the silk- ...

Nosferatu (word)
"Nosferatu" has been presented as an archaic Romanian language, Romanian word synonymous with "vampire". It was largely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Western fiction such as the gothic novel ''Dracula'' (1897) and the German expressionist cinema, German expressionist film ''Nosferatu'' (1922). One of the suggested etymologies of the term is that it is derived from the Romanian ('the offensive one' or 'the insufferable one'). Origins of the word The etymology of the word ''nosferatu'' remains undetermined. There is no doubt that it achieved currency through Bram Stoker's 1897 novel ''Dracula'' and its unauthorised first cinematic adaptation, ''Nosferatu'' (1922). Stoker identified his source for the term as 19th-century British author and speaker Emily Gerard. It is commonly thought that Gerard introduced the word into print in an 1885 magazine article, "Transylvanian Superstitions", and in her travelogue ''The Land Beyond the Forest'' ("Transylvania" is ...
