Lygromma Domingo
''Lygromma'' is a spider genus of Central and South America. There are species with eight, six (e.g. ''L. senoculatum'', ''L. valencianum'') and no eyes. The eyeless ''L. anops'' is endemic to the Galapagos, while the distantly related blind ''L. gertschi'' is found only on Jamaica. The Mexican genera '' Tivodrassus'' and '' Tricongius'' have been suggested as sister groups of ''Lygromma''. Species can reach a body length from about 2 to 4.6 mm. Species , the genus contains 19 species: * '' Lygromma anops'' Peck & Shear, 1987 — Galapagos Islands * '' Lygromma chamberlini'' Gertsch, 1941 — Panama, Colombia, Cuba * '' Lygromma domingo'' Platnick & Shadab, 1981 — Ecuador * '' Lygromma dybasi'' Platnick & Shadab, 1976 — Costa Rica, Panama * '' Lygromma gasnieri'' Brescovit & Höfer, 1993 — Brazil * '' Lygromma gertschi'' Platnick & Shadab, 1976 — Jamaica * '' Lygromma huberti'' Platnick & Shadab, 1976 — Venezuela, Brazil * '' Lygromma kochalkai'' Platnick & Sha ...

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 Taxonomy (biology), taxonomist in history, describing over 4,000 species. Work on spiders His most significant work was ''Histoire Naturelle des Araignées'' (1892–1903), an encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. It was published in two volumes of more than 1000 pages each, and the same number of drawings by Simon. Working at the National Museum of Natural History (France), Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, it took Simon 11 years to complete, while working at the same time on devising a taxonomic scheme that embraced the known taxa. Simon described a total of 4,650 species, and as of 2013 about 3,790 species are still considered valid. The International Society of Arachnology offers a Simon Award recognising lifetime achievement. The Eocene fos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prodidominae
Prodidomidae is a family of spider, sometimes called long-spinneret ground spiders. It was formerly regarded as a subfamily of Gnaphosidae, but was raised to a family in 2022. Spiders in the family are easily identified by the greatly elongated base of the piriform gland spigots. At least parts of their body are covered with shiny scales or setae. The posterior median eyes are flat and silvery, with a triangular, egg-shaped or irregularly rectangular shape.Barbara BaehrProdidomidae/ref> Biology Spiders in the Prodidomidae are ground dwellers. Most species are nocturnal and hide during the day in litter, but ''Myandra'' species, which are probably Ant mimicry, mimicking ants, seem to be active during the day. The genus ''Zimiris'' is synanthropic and thus found throughout the tropics. Distribution Although ''Theuma walteri'' was described from Turkmenistan by Eugène Simon, it is suspected that Simon accidentally exchanged its locality with that of ''Anagraphis Anagraphis pallens ...
