Box Kite Spider
Box kite spiders (''Isoxya'') is a genus of Afrotropical orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. Like the spiny orb-weavers they have six prominent (but short) spines on their abdomen. They are small spiders, measuring across. They have a sclerotised (or porcelain-like) abdomen which is typical of the Gastricanthinae. Species it contains sixteen species: *''Isoxya basilewskyi'' Benoit & Emerit, 1975 – Rwanda, Congo *''Isoxya cicatricosa'' (C. L. Koch, 1844) – Central, East, Southern Africa, Yemen *'' Isoxya cowani'' (Butler, 1883) – Madagascar *''Isoxya mahafalensis'' Emerit, 1974 – Madagascar *''Isoxya milloti'' Emerit, 1974 – Madagascar *''Isoxya mossamedensis'' Benoit, 1962 – Angola *''Isoxya mucronata'' ( Walckenaer, 1841) – Central, Southern Africa *''Isoxya nigromutica'' ( Caporiacco, 1939) – East Africa *''Isoxya penizoides'' Simon, 1887 – West, Central, East Africa *''Isoxya reuteri'' (Lenz, 1886) – Madagascar *''Isoxya semif ...

Tamerlan Thorell
Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell (3 May 1830 – 22 December 1901) was a Swedish arachnologist. Thorell studied spiders with Giacomo Doria at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale de Genoa. He corresponded with other arachnologists, such as Octavius Pickard-Cambridge, Eugène Simon and Thomas Workman. He described more than 1,000 spider species during his time from the 1850 to 1900. Thorell wrote: ''On European Spiders'' (1869) and ''Synonym of European Spiders'' (1870-73). Taxonomic honors The Orb-weaver spider genus '' Thorellina'' and the jumping spider genus '' Thorelliola'' are named after him, as well as about 30 species of spiders: * '' Araneus thorelli'' (Roewer, 1942) (Myanmar) (Araneidae) * '' Gasteracantha thorelli'' Keyserling, 1864 (Madagascar) (Araneidae) * '' Leviellus thorelli'' (Ausserer, 1871) (Europe) (Araneidae) * ''Mandjelia thorelli'' (Raven, 1990) (Queensland) ( Barychelidae) * '' Clubiona thorelli'' Roewer, 1951 (Sumatra) (Clubionidae) * ''Malamatidia thorell ...

Lodovico Di Caporiacco
Ludovico di Caporiacco (22 January 1900, in Udine – 18 July 1951, in Parma) was an Italian arachnologist. Caporiacco took part in an expedition to the Jebel Uweinat, a mountain massif in the boundary region of Sudan, Libya, and Egypt. On the mission, he, together with Hungarian explorer László Almásy, discovered the prehistoric rock paintings of Ain Doua in 1933. In 1943 he was appointed professor of zoology to the faculty of sciences at the University of Parma. He was the author of numerous scientific papers on arachnids native to Italy and other Mediterranean regions. He also published articles on species found in East Africa, Central Asia (Himalayas and the Karakoram The Karakoram is a mountain range in Kashmir region spanning the borders of Pakistan, China, and India, with the northwest extremity of the range extending to Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
