Bacelarella Pavida
''Bacelarella pavida'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Bacelarella'' that is Endemism, endemic to Ivory Coast. It was first described in 2001 by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué based on a holotype found near Appouasso. The spider is medium-sized with a dark brown carapace that has a length between and a mottled Opisthosoma, abdomen that is between long. The carapace has a yellow spot and the abdomen has a pattern of white bands and spots. The male differs from other spiders in the genus in having a short palpal bulb, embolus. The female can be distinguished by the large plate on the epigyne and large flaps on the chamber at the entrance to the short copulatory ducts. Taxonomy ''Bacelarella pavida'' was first described by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué in 2001. It was allocated to the genus ''Bacelarella'', which itself had been first raised by Lucien Beland and Jacques Millot in 1941. The genus is named in honour of the Portuguese Arachnology, arachnologist Amélia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bacelarella Iactans
''Bacelarella iactans'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Bacelarella'' that lives in Guinea and the Ivory Coast. It was first described in 2001 by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué based on a holotype found near Appouasso and is named after the Latin for showing off, after the iridescent colours of the legs. The spider is medium-sized with a dark brown carapace that has a length between and a mottled abdomen that is between long. The female is larger than the male. The male has a distinctive pattern of spots on the tegulum, which has two prongs, and a long embolus that curves so far that it loops around itself. The female can be distinguished by its epigyne, particularly the large triangular plate and the long coiled copulatory ducts. Taxonomy ''Bacelarella iactans'' was first described by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué in 2001. It was allocated to the genus ''Bacelarella'', which itself had been first raised by Lucien Beland and Jacques Millot in 1941. The genus is n ...

Bacelarella Dracula
''Bacelarella dracula'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Bacelarella'' that lives in Ivory Coast and Nigeria. It was first described in 2001 by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué based on a holotype found near Appouasso. The spider is medium-sized with a plain dark brown carapace that has a length between and a mottled abdomen that is between long. The female is larger than the male. The male has a prominent tooth, which gives the species its name, recalling the fictional Count Dracula. The male also has a distinctive long prong that extends from the palpal bulb and a long embolus that curves so far that it nearly ends at its start. The female can be distinguished by its epigyne, and particularly the tight coil at the end of the copulatory openings. Taxonomy ''Bacelarella dracula'' was first described by Tamás Szűts and Rudy Jocqué in 2001. It was allocated to the genus ''Bacelarella'', which itself had been first raised by Lucien Beland and Jacques Millot in 1941. ...

Bacelarella Gibbosa
''Bacelarella gibbosa'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Bacelarella'' that is endemic to Nigeria. The spider has a distinctive shape to the carapace that gives the species its name, which can be translated hunchback. It was first described in 2012 by Wanda Wesołowska and Glavis Edwards. The spider is medium-sized with a cephalothorax that has a length between and an abdomen that is between long. The female is larger than the male. It is also generally lighter in colour, the male having a darker brown carapace, clypeus and legs. The species can be distinguished from others in the species by the male's round small palpal bulb and long thin embolus and the larger pocket in the female's epigyne. Taxonomy ''Bacelarella gibbosa'' was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Glavis Edwards in 2012. It is one of over 500 species identified by the Polish arachnologist Wesołowska. It was allocated to the genus ''Bacelarella'', which itself had been first raised by Luci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salticidae Genera
Jumping spiders are a group of spiders that constitute the family Salticidae. As of 2019, this family contained over 600 described genera and over 6,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems (bimodal breathing). Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the anterior median pair being particularly large. Distinguishing characteristics Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye patt ...

Wanda Wesołowska
Wanda Wesołowska (born 11 August 1950) is a Polish zoologist known for her work with jumping spiders. She has described more species of jumping spider than any contemporary writer, and is second only to Eugène Simon in the history of arachnology. Originally a student of ornithology, she developed an interest in jumping spiders while still a student at the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in the 1970s. She subsequently undertook study into the genus ''Heliophanus'' at the University of Wroclaw. Her subsequent doctoral thesis described 44 new species, and joined the staff at the university. She stayed until retiring in 2020. Her research included the taxonomy and zoogeography of jumping spiders, and has included extensive work on African genera like ''Menemerus'' and '' Pachyballus''. She has identified over 500 species, including half of all those from South Africa, as well as having more than 20 named after her. Early life Wanda Wesołowska (née Nowysz) was ...
