Afraflacilla
''Afraflacilla'' is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most species are distributed in Eastern to Northern Africa (including the Middle East) and Australia, with two species (''A. epiblemoides and A. tarajalis'') found in Europe. This genus was for a time included in the genus ''Pseudicius'', and the boundaries between both genera are disputed. In 2016 Jerzy Prószyński erected the genus ''Psenuc'' for some borderline species. The name ''Afraflacilla'' is combined from Africa, where most earlier described species were found, and ''Flacilla'' Simon, 1901, an obsolete salticid genus now called '' Flacillula'' Strand, 1932. This genus name is in turn derived from Aelia Flaccilla, wife of Roman Emperor Theodosius I. ''Afraflacilla'', ''Pseudicius'', '' Festucula'' and ''Marchena'' are close relatives and form a monophyletic group. Afraflacilla species have tubercles and bristles (on the sides of the carapace near the eyes and on their legs) which they r ...

Afraflacilla Altera
''Afraflacilla altera'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus '' Afraflacilla'' that lives in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The spider was first described in 2000 by Wanda Wesołowska and originally allocated to the genus '' Pseudicius''. It was moved to its current name by Jerzy Prószyński in 2016. The spider is small, with an elongated carapace and abdomen that are between and between long respectively. The male and female are similar in size and shape, although the female is generally lighter. They have a similar pattern of three white dots on each side of the brown abdomen. The spider is superficially almost indistinguishable from other species in the genus, particularly '' Afraflacilla karinae'' and '' Afraflacilla venustula''. It can be best differentiated by its copulatory organs, particularly the shape of the male tibial apophyses, or appendages, and the arrangement of pouches and openings on the female epigyne.

Afraflacilla Arabica
''Afraflacilla arabica'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus '' Afraflacilla'' that lives in Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen. The spider was first described in 1994 by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten. The spider is small to medium-sized, with an elongated brown carapace that is between 1.7 and 1.85 long and an oval greyish-brown abdomen between 2.25 and 3.0 mm long. The female and male are similar externally, differing mainly in the male's larger and thicker brown front legs that mount stridulatory apparatus. The remainder of the legs are smaller and yellow. The female is also slightly lighter. The spiders have distinctive copulatory organs. The male has a long embolus extending around the palpal bulb. The female has wide insemination ducts, small spermathecae and large accessory glands. Taxonomy ''Afraflacilla arabica'' is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten in 1994. It is one of over 500 species identified by ...

Pseudicius
''Pseudicius'' is a genus of the 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'' Wesołowska, 2006 – Namibia * '' Pseudicius africanus'' Peckham & Peckham, 1903 – South Africa, Lesotho * '' Pseudicius amicus'' Prószyński, 2000 – Middle East * '' Pseudicius andamanius'' ( Tikader, 1977) – Andaman Islands * '' Pseudicius athleta'' Wesołowska, 2011 – Uganda, Kenya * '' Pseudicius badius ...

''Marchena'' is a genus of jumping spiders only found in the United States. Its only described species, ''M. minuta'', dwells on the barks of conifers along the west coast, especially California, Washington and Nevada.Maddison, Wayne. 1995. Marchena. Marchena minuta. Version 1 January 1995 (under construction). http://tolweb.org/Marchena_minuta/2986/1995.01.01 in The Tree of Life Web Project, http://tolweb.org/ It forms a monophyletic group with the genera '' Afraflacilla'', '' Pseudicius'' and ''Festucula''.Zabka & Grey 2002 Description This species can easily be distinguished from others in its range by the tubercles on the first femur of its first legs. ''M. minuta'' has a body length of about 4 mm. Name The genus name is probably derived from the Spanish city of Marchena, Seville. As witnessed by other generic names, the describers had a habit of naming taxa after places unrelated to the species' distribution. The species name is Latin for "small, minute". No ...

Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area.Sayre, April Pulley (1999), ''Africa'', Twenty-First Century Books. . With billion people as of , it accounts for about of the world's human population. Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4. Despite a wide range of natural resources, Africa is the least wealthy continent per capita and second-least wealthy by total wealth, behind Oceania. Scholars have attributed this to different factors including geography, climate, tribalism, colonialism, the Cold War, neocolonialism, lack of democracy, and corruption. Despite this low concentration of wealth, recent economic expansion and the large and young population make Afr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
