Long-jawed Orb Weaver
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. They have elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae, and build small orb webs with an open hub with few, wide-set radii and spirals with no signal line or retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water. Systematics , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following extant genera: *'' Alcimosphenus'' Simon, 1895 — Caribbean *''Allende'' Álvarez-Padilla, 2007 — Chile, Argentina *''Antillognatha'' Bryant, 1945 — Hispaniola *''Atelidea'' Simon, 1895 — Sri Lanka *''Azilia'' Keyserling, 1881 — United States, Panama, South America, Caribbean *'' Chrysometa'' Simon, 1894 — South America, Central America, Mexico, Caribbean *'' Cyrtognatha'' Keyserling, 1881 — South America, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico *''Dianleucauge'' Song & Zhu, 1994 — China *'' Diphya'' Nicolet, 1849 — Asia, South America, Africa *'' Doli ...

Leucauge
''Leucauge'' () is a spider genus of long-jawed orb weavers, with over 160 species and fully pantropical distribution. The genus was first documented in Scottish zoologist Adam White's 1841 ''Description of new or little known Arachnida''. Charles Darwin had suggested the name of the genus and collected the first specimen in May 1832, later named ''L. argyrobapta''. A vague description and the loss of the only specimen left the genus ill-defined. ''Leucauge'' developed into something of a wastebasket taxon containing 300 loosely related species, until research in the year 2010 resolved ''L. argyrobapta'' as a synonym of the quite common '' L. venusta'' and allowed revision and reclassing of the genus. However, a 2018 paper restored '' Leucauge argyrobapta'' as a separate species. The body and leg shapes and the silver, black and yellow markings of ''Leucauge'' females make identification of the genus relatively easy. They have two rows of long, slender curved hairs on the fem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
