Pseudicius Zabkai
''Pseudicius'' is a genus (biology), genus of the Salticidae, jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. The name is combined of Greek ''pseudo'' "false" and the salticid genus name ''Icius''. The small genus ''Wesolowskana'' (formerly known as ''Luxuria'') should possibly be included in this genus. There is some dispute whether ''Afraflacilla'' is a distinct genus or should be included in ''Pseudicius''. ''Festucula'' and ''Marchena'' are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group. Species , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species. Many species formerly placed here have been transferred to a variety of other genera. * ''Pseudicius adustus'' Wanda WesoÅ‚owska, WesoÅ‚owska, 2006 – Namibia * ''Pseudicius africanus'' George and Elizabeth Peckham, Peckham & Peckham, 1903 – South Africa, Lesotho * ''Pseudicius amicus'' Jerzy PrószyÅ„ski, PrószyÅ„ski, 2000 – Middle East * ''Pseudicius andamanius'' (B.

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] |
