Macrobunidae
Macrobunidae is a family of araneomorph spiders. It was treated as a subfamily of Amaurobiidae until elevated to a full family based on a 2023 molecular phylogenetic study. Taxonomy A 2023 molecular phylogenetic study of the 'marronoid' group of initially nine spider families led to a changed circumscription of some of the families, including two resurrected or new families, Cicurinidae and Macrobunidae. The relationships in the study's maximum likelihood summary tree are shown below. The subfamily Macrobuninae was originally created as part of the family Amaurobiidae, but in the study was shown to be a monophyletic group well removed from Amaurobiidae. Accordingly it was raised to family rank. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following genera, all formerly placed in the family Amaurobiidae: *''Anisacate'' Mello-Leitão, 1941 *''Auximella'' Strand, 1908 *''Callevopsis'' Tullgren, 1902 *''Cavernocymbium'' Ubick, 2005 *''Chresiona'' Simon, 1903 *''Chumma'' Jocqué, 2 ...

Funny (spider)
''Funny'' is a genus of macrobunid spiders from China comprising two species, ''Funny valentine'' (the type species) and ''Funny yanqing''. Etymology The specific name of ''Funny valentine'' was described as "an arbitrary combination of letters" by its authors. However, it was later described as a reference to the character of the same name from ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''. ''Funny yanqing'' was named after ''Water Margin'' character Yan Qing. Description ''Funny valentine'' measures around in body length. It possesses six eyes, with the anterior eye row being recurved. The oval-shaped cephalothorax and legs are pale yellow, while the abdomen is white. The body is sparsely covered in dark setae. The two species are united in pedipalp morphology by the branching of the . However, the shape of the retro-proximal process, dorsal apophysis and apophysis differ in males between the two species. Females of ''F. yanqing'' also have a septum separating the , which are touch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Livius (spider)
''Livius macrospinus'' is a species of South American spiders in the family Macrobunidae. It is the only species in the genus ''Livius''. The genus and species were first described by V. D. Roth in 1967, and have only been found in Chile Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in the western part of South America. It is the southernmost country in the world, and the closest to Antarctica, occupying a long and narrow strip of land between the Andes to the eas ....

Cicurinidae
Cicurinidae is a family of araneomorph spiders. Taxonomy The taxon was first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1893 as the subfamily Cicurinae. It was resurrected in 2023, with one genus (''Brommella'') transferred from Dictynidae and two (''Chorizomma'' and ''Cicurina'') from Hahniidae. Phylogeny A 2023 molecular phylogenetic study of the 'marronoid' group of initially nine spider families led to a changed circumscription of some of the families, including two resurrected or new families, Cicurinidae and Macrobunidae. The relationships in the study's maximum likelihood summary tree are shown below. Two genera included in the study, ''Brommella'' and ''Cicurina'', were found to form a monophyletic group, distinct from other families, and were placed in the Cicurinidae. (''Chorizomma'' was later included on morphological grounds.) Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepted four genera: *'' Altimella'' Wang & Z.S. Zhang, 2024 *''Brommella'' Tullgren, 1948 *''Chorizomma'' Si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Toxopidae
Toxopidae is a small family of araneomorph spiders, first described in 1940. For many years it was sunk into Desidae as a subfamily, although doubts were expressed as to whether this was correct. A large-scale molecular phylogenetic study in 2016 led to the family being revived. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *''Gasparia'' Marples, 1956 – New Zealand *'' Gohia'' Dalmas, 1917 – New Zealand *''Hapona'' Forster, 1970 – New Zealand *''Hulua'' Forster & Wilton, 1973 – New Zealand *'' Jamara'' Davies, 1995 – Australia *'' Laestrygones'' Urquhart, 1894 – New Zealand, Australia *''Lamina'' Forster, 1970 – New Zealand *''Midgee'' Davies, 1995 – Australia *'' Myro'' O.

Chumma
''Chumma'' is a genus of African tangled nest spiders first described by Rudy Jocqué in 2001. They are small, three-clawed spiders with a strong dorsal scutum. They have no fovea, and the posterior and median spinnerets are reduced. The males of ''C. gastroperforata'' have two pairs of abdominal pockets that play a role in mating. This genus was initially placed in the family Chummidae, but the World Spider Catalog places it in Amaurobiidae. Species it contains nine species in South Africa and neighboring countries: *'' Chumma bicolor'' Jocqué & Alderweireldt, 2018 – South Africa *'' Chumma foliata'' Jocqué & Alderweireldt, 2018 – South Africa *'' Chumma gastroperforata'' Jocqué, 2001 – South Africa *'' Chumma inquieta'' Jocqué, 2001 (type Type may refer to: Science and technology Computing * Typing, producing text via a keyboard, typewriter, etc. * Data type, collection of values used for computations. * File type * TYPE (DOS command), a command to display ...
