Banksula Californica
''Banksula californica'' is a species of harvestman in family Phalangodidae. The animal is less than 2 mm in length. Possible extinction The species is possibly extinct because the type locality, the place from where the type specimen of the species was collected, Alabaster Cave in El Dorado County El Dorado County (), officially the County of El Dorado, is a county located in the U.S. state of California. As of the 2020 census, the population was 191,185. The county seat is Placerville. The County is part of the Sacramento- Roseville-A ..., California, has been partially destroyed due to mining and has been sealed by concrete, making surveying impossible.

Banksula Melones
''Banksula melones'' is a species of harvestman in family Phalangodidae. It is endemic to caves along the Stanislaus River of California, United States. This, with a body size of only slightly more than 2 mm, minute harvestman lives only in caves. Its body is colored yellowish-orange, with white to yellowish white appendages. It appears in the same caves as '' Banksula grahami'', which is slightly smaller and has no well-developed eyes. In fact, ''B. melones'' has the best eyes in the whole genus, except for ''B. incredula'', which is the only species that does not inhabit caves. ''B. melones'' has been occasionally found near cave openings. When disturbed, they tend to remain motionless for up to several minutes. They can probably live for several years, which is quite long for a harvestman, with molts occurring only every several months. They have been shown to survive without food for up to 43 days (Rudolph, 1979). They prey on very small arthropods, preferring springt ...

Phalangodidae
The Phalangodidae are a family of harvestmen with about 30 genera and more than 100 described species, distributed in the Holarctic region. It is not to be confused with the harvestman family Phalangiidae, which is in the suborder Eupnoi. Name The name of the type genus ''Phalangodes'' is derived from Ancient Greek ('), a line of soldiers in formation. This probably refers to the rows of pedipalpal spines. Description Body length ranges from less than 1 mm to about . The pedipalps are armed with large spines. While some species have legs eight times the body length, others have shorter legs around twice the body length. Most species are yellowish to orange brown. Troglobitic (cave-dwelling) species are depigmented. Distribution More than two-thirds of the species occur in the western Nearctic, especially in California] with about 50 species in four endemism, endemic genera. About 10 species are known from the eastern Nearctic. Few occur in the Palearctic, with one spec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology.
