Arucillus
''Arucillus'' is a genus of harvestmen in the family Cosmetidae with two described species (as of early 2025). All species are from Central America or South America. An overview of the wider phylogeny was stated by Medrano et al. (2024) favoring a placement in Metergininae but acknowledging that ''Arucillus'' appeared among Libitiinae in all other analyses, in some cases appearing allied to some externally similar species from Mexico and Antilles, those currently in the genera '' Holovonones'' and '' Vonones''. Description The genus ''Arucillus'' was described by Šilhavý, 1971 with the type species '' Arucillus hispaniolicus'' Šilhavý, 1971. The genus was later included in the subfamily Metergininae Metergininae is a subfamily of harvestman, harvestmen in the family (biology), family Cosmetidae. Taxonomy The subfamily Metergininae includes the following genera: * ''Arucillus'' * ''Erginulus'' * ''Meterginus'' * ''Poecilaemula'' * ''Rhau .... Species These species be ...

Cosmetidae
Cosmetidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores. With over 700 species, it is one of the largest families in Opiliones. They are endemic of the New World with a Nearctic-Neotropical distribution where a large fraction of the diversity of Opiliones are represented by this single family. Cosmetidae have the northern extent of their range into the USA, where a small number species occur in the southern states. However, the family is especially diverse in Mexico, Central America and northern South America; especially the Andean realms. Their range also extends further south into Argentina and southern Brazil, but they are absent in Chile. Cosmetidae are prevalent in Amazonian region, but only relatively few also occur in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Several species are also found in the Caribbean. Description This family comprises members that may have elaborate white or yellow (but rarely also green/orange/red) markings such as stripes and spots on the dorsal body an ...

Vladimír Šilhavý
Vladimír Šilhavý (20 July 1913 – 6 July 1984) was a Czech zoologist and physician. He studied the opiliones fauna of the region intensively while also taking an interest in a number of insect groups. He was also an artist who illustrated most of his taxonomic works on his own. He described eight new genera and 20 new species of opiliones although several have since been sunk into synonymy. Life and work Šilhavý was born in Kutná Hora where his father Eduard was a teacher, amateur archaeologist and folklorist. His father was posted in Budíkovice (today part of Třebíč) and he grew up in the Třebíč region studying at the local elementary school. An interest in natural history was encouraged by his uncle Vilém Vlach who was a lepidopterist. While studying at the Třebíč gymnasium (graduated 1932), he was influenced by biologist and ecologist Alois Dichtl; and entomologist Antonín Růžička. Růžička was the founder of the Natural Science Club in Třebíč. Early ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Harvestman
The Opiliones (formerly Phalangida) are an order of arachnids, colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs (see below). , over 6,650 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the total number of extant species may exceed 10,000. The order Opiliones includes five suborders: Cyphophthalmi, Eupnoi, Dyspnoi, Laniatores, and Tetrophthalmi, which were named in 2014. Representatives of each extant suborder can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Well-preserved fossils have been found in the 400-million-year-old Rhynie cherts of Scotland, and 305-million-year-old rocks in France. These fossils look surprisingly modern, indicating that their basic body shape developed very early on, and, at least in some taxa, has changed little since that time. Their phylogenetic position within the Arachnida is disputed; their closest relatives may be camel spiders (Solifugae) or a larger clade comprising horseshoe crabs, Ricinulei, ...
