Gylippus (arachnid)
''Gylippus'' is a genus of gylippid camel spiders, first described by Eugène Simon Eugène Louis Simon (; 30 April 1848 – 17 November 1924) was a French naturalist who worked particularly on insects and spiders, but also on birds and plants. He is by far the most prolific spider taxonomist in history, describing over 4 ... in 1879. Species , the ''World Solifugae Catalog'' accepts the following twenty-one species: * '' Gylippus afghanensis'' Roewer, 1960 — Afghanistan * '' Gylippus afghanus'' (Roewer, 1933) — Afghanistan * '' Gylippus bayrami'' Erdek, 2015 — Turkey * '' Gylippus bergi'' Birula, 1907 — Tajikistan * '' Gylippus caucasicus'' Birula, 1907 — Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey * '' Gylippus cyprioticus'' Lawrence, 1953 — Cyprus * '' Gylippus dsungaricus'' (Roewer, 1933) — China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan * '' Gylippus erseni'' Koç & Erdek, 2019 — Turkey * '' Gylippus ferganensis'' Birula, 1893 — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzb ...

Gylippus Syriacus
Gylippus (; el, Γύλιππος) was a Spartan general (strategos) of the 5th century BC; he was the son of Cleandridas, who was the adviser of King Pleistoanax and had been expelled from Sparta for accepting Athens, Athenian bribes in 446 BC and fled to Thurii, a pan-Hellenic Greek colonisation, colony then being founded in the instep of Italy with Athenian help and participation. His mother may have been a helots, helot, which meant he was not a true Spartiate but a mothax, a man of inferior status. Despite this, from an early childhood he was trained for war in the traditional Spartan fashion and on reaching maturity had been elected to a military mess, his dues contributed by a wealthier Spartiate patron. For an individual of marginal origins, war was an opportunity to gain honor and eminence. When Alcibiades urged the Spartans to send a general to lead the Syracuse, Italy, Syracusan resistance against the Sicilian Expedition, Athenian expedition, Gylippus was appointed (414 ...

Solifugae
Solifugae is an order of animals in the class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera. Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones), nor true spiders (order Araneae). Most species of Solifugae live in dry climates and feed opportunistically on ground-dwelling arthropods and other small animals. The largest species grow to a length of , including legs. A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of the Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans, which is negligible. Anatomy Solifuges are moderately small to large arachnids (a few millimeters to several centimeters in body length), with the larger species reaching in length, including legs. In practice, the respective lengths of the legs of various species differ drastically, so the resulting figures are often misleading. More practical measurements refer prima ...

Arachnid Genera
Arachnida () is a class of joint-legged invertebrate animals ( arthropods), in the subphylum Chelicerata. Arachnida includes, among others, spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, pseudoscorpions, harvestmen, camel spiders, whip spiders and vinegaroons. Almost all adult arachnids have eight legs, although the front pair of legs in some species has converted to a sensory function, while in other species, different appendages can grow large enough to take on the appearance of extra pairs of legs. The term is derived from the Greek word (''aráchnē'', 'spider'), from the myth of the hubristic human weaver Arachne, who was turned into a spider. Almost all extant arachnids are terrestrial, living mainly on land. However, some inhabit freshwater environments and, with the exception of the pelagic zone, marine environments as well. They comprise over 100,000 named species, of which 47,000 are species of spiders. Morphology Almost all adult arachnids have eight legs, unlik ...
