Acroaspis Tuberculifera
''Acroaspis'' is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1878. Species it contains six species in Australia and New Zealand: *'' Acroaspis decorosa'' (Urquhart, 1894) – New Zealand *''Acroaspis lancearia'' (Keyserling, 1887) – Australia (New South Wales) *''Acroaspis mamillana'' (Keyserling, 1887) – Australia (New South Wales) *''Acroaspis olorina'' Karsch, 1878 – Australia (Western Australia, New South Wales) *''Acroaspis scutifer ''Acroaspis'' is a genus of South Pacific orb-weaver spiders first described by Ferdinand Karsch in 1878.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. 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. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists 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. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
