Phrynus Whitei
''Phrynus'' is a genus of whip spiders found in tropical and subtropical regions, mostly in the new world. Appearance Like other species of the order Amblypygi, species of the genus ''Phrynus'' are dorso-ventrally flattened arachnids with elongate, antenniform front legs used to navigate their environment and communicate with conspecifics. Individuals capture prey using raptorial pedipalps. ''Phrynus'' species vary in size, from the small '' Phrynus marginemaculatus'' to the larger ''Phrynus longipes''. At least one species of ''Phrynus'' is territorial and cannibalistic (''Phrynus longipes''). ''Phrynus'' is a New World genus, found from the southern United States to northern South America; the sole exception is '' Phrynus exsul'' from Indonesia.

Lamarck
Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck (; ), was a French naturalist, biologist, academic, and soldier. He was an early proponent of the idea that biological evolution occurred and proceeded in accordance with natural laws. Lamarck fought in the Seven Years' War against Prussia, and was awarded a commission for bravery on the battlefield. Posted to Monaco, Lamarck became interested in natural history and resolved to study medicine. Packard (1901), p. 15. He retired from the army after being injured in 1766, and returned to his medical studies. Lamarck developed a particular interest in botany, and later, after he published the three-volume work ''Flore françoise'' (1778), he gained membership of the French Academy of Sciences in 1779. Lamarck became involved in the Jardin des Plantes and was appointed to the Chair of Botany in 1788. When the French National Assembly founded the Muséu ...

Phrynus Maesi
''Phrynus maesi'' is a species of amblypygid in the family Phrynidae. It is endemic to Nicaragua, specifically among the volcanic mountains in the department of Jinotega and in the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve. Etymology The genus '' Phrynus'' is directly derived from the Greek word "φρῦνος", meaning toad. The species is named in honor of Professor Jean-Michel Maes, one of the collectors of the type specimens. Description ''Phrynus maesi'' is characterized by two sets of four legs, like other arachnids. The rear six legs are used for walking, while the first two are antenniform and act as antennae. Females have been recorded as approximately 19 mm in length, while males are slightly smaller, measuring about . While their pedipalp spines are similar to females, they exhibit a distinctly large male genital operculum. The carapace is reddish-brown, with light markings radiating from the central groove.
