Zorodictyna Oswaldi
''Zorodictyna'' is a genus of spiders in the family Udubidae native to Madagascar. It has been described as an intermediate genus between Zoropsidae and Dictynidae, though it is now placed in Udubidae. This genus was originally placed in the family Zoropsidae, but it has been reassigned several times since. In 1967, Lehtinen moved it to Miturgidae. In 1999, it was moved back to Zoropsidae, and in 2015, it was moved to Udubidae. Species , the genus has two accepted species. * '' Zorodictyna inhonesta'' – Madagascar Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country that includes the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands.

Embrik Strand
Embrik Strand (2 June 1876 – 3 November 1947) was an entomologist and arachnologist who classified many insect and spider species, including the greenbottle blue tarantula. Life and career Strand was born in Ål, Norway. He studied at the University of Kristiania (now University of Oslo). Around 1900 he focused on collecting insect specimens from Norway. These are now deposited at the university's museum, where he worked as a curator from 1901 to 1903. After studying at the University of Oslo, Strand traveled in Norway from 1898 to 1903 collecting a great number of insects. For part of this time (1901–1903) he was a conservator in the museum of zoology of the university. He then left for Germany where he continued his studies of zoology at the University of Marburg (1903). He then worked with State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (1905) and, later, that of Tübingen and then with Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. From 1907, he worked with Natural History Museum, Ber ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Madagascar
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country that includes the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Lying off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the world's List of islands by area, fourth largest island, the List of island countries, second-largest island country, and the List of countries and dependencies by area, 46th largest country overall. Its capital and List of cities in Madagascar, largest city is Antananarivo. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from Africa during the Early Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago, and separated from the Indian subcontinent approximately 90 million years ago. This isolation allowed native plants and animals to evolve in relative seclusion; as a result, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, with over 90% of its wildlife of Madagascar, wildlife being endemic. The island has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zoropsidae
Zoropsidae, also known as false wolf spiders for their physical similarity to wolf spiders, is a family of cribellate araneomorph spiders first described by Philipp Bertkau in 1882. They can be distinguished from wolf spiders by their two rows of eyes that are more equal in size than those of Lycosidae. The families Tengellidae and Zorocratidae are now included in Zoropsidae. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: * '' Akamasia'' Bosselaers, 2002 – Cyprus * '' Anachemmis'' Chamberlin, 1919 – United States, Mexico * '' Austrotengella'' Raven, 2012 – Australia * '' Birrana'' Raven & Stumkat, 2005 – Australia * '' Cauquenia'' Piacentini, Ramírez & Silva, 2013 * '' Chinja'' Polotow & Griswold, 2018 – Tanzania * '' Ciniflella'' Mello-Leitão, 1921 – Brazil * '' Devendra'' Lehtinen, 1967 – Sri Lanka * '' Griswoldia'' Dippenaar-Schoeman & Jocqué, 1997 – South Africa * '' Hoedillus'' Simon, 1898 – Guatemala, Nicaragua * '' Huntia'' G ...

Dictynidae
Dictynidae is a family of cribellate, hackled band-producing spiders first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1871. Most build irregular webs on or near the ground, creating a tangle of silken fibers among several branches or stems of one plant. The genus '' Argyroneta'' has been placed in a separate family Argyronetidae, but the family is not accepted by the World Spider Catalog and the genus is included in the Dictynidae. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *'' Adenodictyna'' Ono, 2008 — Japan *'' Aebutina'' Simon, 1892 — Ecuador, Brazil *'' Ajmonia'' Caporiacco, 1934 — Asia, Algeria *'' Altella'' Simon, 1884 — Europe, Asia, Algeria *''Anaxibia'' Thorell, 1898 — Asia, Africa *'' Arangina'' Lehtinen, 1967 — New Zealand *'' Archaeodictyna'' Caporiacco, 1928 — Asia, Europe, Africa *'' Arctella'' Holm, 1945 — Asia, North America *'' Argenna'' Thorell, 1870 — Asia, North America *'' Argennina'' Gertsch & Mulaik, 1936 — Unite ...

Udubidae
Udubidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, most of whose members were formerly placed in the family Zorocratidae, which is no longer accepted. Phylogeny A study investigating the phylogenetic relationships of lycosoid spiders concluded that the genera formerly placed in the family Zorocratidae fell into two groups. The largest group formed the sister clade to the "grate-shaped tapetum clade" (see the cladogram below). The type genus, '' Zorocrates'', grouped with '' Zoropsis'' inside the grate-shaped tapetum clade. Some earlier studies had also cast doubt on the monophyly of the Zorocratidae. A 2003 study found that ''Raecius'', ''Uduba'', and ''Zorodictyna'' formed a clade somewhat separated from ''Zorocrates''. A 2014 study including ''Zorocrates'' and ''Raecius'' did not find that they grouped together., p. 289 Moving the type genus to a different family meant that a new family name was needed for the remaining members. Griswold and Polotow proposed "Udubidae", with the typ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Miturgidae
Miturgidae is a family of araneomorph spiders that includes nearly 170 species in 29 genera worldwide. First described by Eugène Simon in 1886, it has been substantially revised, and includes the previous family Zoridae as a synonym, and excludes the family Xenoctenidae. Several genera have also been removed, such as the large genus '' Cheiracanthium'', which was transferred to the Cheiracanthiidae. Description Spiders of the Miturgidae family are small-to-medium sized spiders, with most genera possessing a brown and gray band pattern on the spider's body. Behavior Miturgidae spiders are nocturnal. They live on the ground or on foliage, where they build a sac-like shelter on vegetation or under rocks or other debris. Mother spiders will deposit and protect her eggs in these shelters. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: *'' Argoctenus'' L. Koch, 1878 — New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea *'' Diaprograpta'' Simon, 1909 — Australia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zorodictyna Inhonesta
''Zorodictyna inhonesta'' is a species of spider in the family Udubidae, found in Madagascar. It was first described by Eugène Simon in 1906 as ''Uduba inhonesta''. Pekka T. Lehtinen transferred it to the genus '' Zorodictyna'' in 1967, although Pierre L.G. Benoit was still using the name ''Uduba inhonesta'' in 1972. Under the synonym ''Zorodictyna intermedia'', a female was described as having a bright red cephalothorax The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind. (The terms ''prosoma'' and ''opisthosoma'' are equivalent to ''cepha ..., darker towards the front. The upper surface of abdomen was brown freckled with darker spots, with two parallel lighter stripes. Its total length was at least 16 mm. The fourth leg was longest, at 22 mm.

Spiders Of Madagascar
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 53,034 spider species in 136 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been debate among scientists about how families should be classified, with over 20 different classifications proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders (as with all arachnids) differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel. However, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had a separate tho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taxa Named By Embrik Strand
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
