Wanniyala Hakgala
''Wanniyala hakgala'' is a species of spider of the genus '' Wanniyala''. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. The species was described with a male found from Hakgala area, hence the specific name. Description Male of species is differentiated by its counterpart species ''Wanniyala agrabopath'' by epigynum with pointed projection, ochre-yellow carapace with wide blackish median band with lateral dark margins. Opisthosoma grey with black pattern dorsally and dark patterns ventrally as well. Sternum is light brown in color, while legs are pale ochre-yellow. Female is much similar to male, but with an unmodified clypeus. Distribution Exclusively endemic to central hills of Sri Lanka, the species is found only from three localities around Nuwara Eliya district and Kandy district. The type locality is from Hakgala, and the two other sites are from Kumbukana and Nonawatte wet slope.

Wanniyala Agrabopath
''Wanniyala agrabopath'', is a species of spider of the genus ''Wanniyala''. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.

Vedda People
The Vedda ( ; (''Vēḍar'')), or Wanniyalaeto, are a minority Indigenous peoples, indigenous group of people in Sri Lanka who, among other sub-communities such as Coast Veddas, Anuradhapura Veddas and Bintenne Veddas, are accorded indigenous status. The Vedda minority in Sri Lanka may become completely assimilated. Most speak Sinhala language, Sinhala instead of their indigenous languages, which are nearing extinction. It has been hypothesized that the Vedda were probably the earliest inhabitants of Sri Lanka and have lived on the island since before the arrival of other groups from the Indian mainland. A 2024 genetics study using high-resolution Autosome, autosomal and Mitochondrial DNA found that the Veddas were genetically closer to the Santhal people, Santhal, Juang people, Juang, Irula people, Irula and Paniya people, Paniya tribes (as well as the Pallar caste) of India, than to the Sinhalese people, Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamils. The study concluded that the Veddas w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pholcidae
The Pholcidae are a Family (biology), family of Araneomorphae, araneomorph spiders. The family contains more than 1,800 individual species of pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and angel spider. The family, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850, is divided into 94 genera. The common name "daddy long-legs" is used for several species, especially ''Pholcus phalangioides'', but is also the common name for several other arthropod groups, including Opiliones, harvestmen and Tipuloidea, crane flies. Appearance Pholcids have extremely long and thin legs with flexible Spider anatomy#Appendages, tarsi. They can be distinguished from other long-legged spiders by the eye arrangement: Pholcidae have two groups of three eyes each, and there may be a pair of small eyes in between them. Most have this middle pair present for a total of eight eyes, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
