Arachnura
''Arachnura'', also known as drag-tailed spider, scorpion-tailed spider and scorpion spider, is a genus of Araneidae, orb-weaver spiders that was first described by A. Vinson in 1863. They are distributed across Australasia, South Asia, Southern and East Asia, Eastern Asia with one species from Africa. Females can grow up to long, while males reach only long. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "wikt:ἀράχνη#Ancient Greek, arachne-" () and "wikt:οὐρά#Ancient Greek, uro" (), meaning "tail". The tails are only present on females, but unlike the common names suggests, these spiders aren't related to scorpiones, scorpions. They curl up their tails when disturbed, but they are completely harmless. Bites are rare, and result in minor symptoms such as local pain and swelling. They stay at the middle of their web day and night, and their bodies mimic plant litter, such as fallen flowers, twigs, or dead leaves. ''Arachnura logio'' is called Kijiro o-hiki-gumo in Jap ...

Arachnura Feredayi
''Arachnura feredayi'', the tailed forest spider, is endemic to New Zealand. it is known for the distinctive tapering body shape in females which are also much larger than males, and for producing vertical columns of eggsacs in the 12 o'clock position in their webs. Description ''Arachnura feredayi'' females reach up to 18 mm in length, with about a third of that length consisting of a tail-like ending of the abdomen. Colouring is variable, with yellow or yellow-green variants common. Males are much smaller (about 2 mm long), lack the female's 'tail' and are coloured in shades of brown. This species is most similar to ''Arachnura higginsi'' from Australia, but the two species can be separated by structural differences in the male palp and female epigynum. ''Arachnura higginsi'' has also been reported as making aggregations of distinct but connected webs, but this has not been observed in ''A. feredayi.'' Taxonomy ''Arachnura feredeyi'' was originally described by L. Koch in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arachnura Scorpionoides
''Arachnura scorpionoides'' is a species of drag tail spider, in the genus ''Arachnura'', native to Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Mauritius. A specimen of this species has recently been seen (January 2013) in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. The specimen laid over 65 eggs which later hatched, therefore making ''Arachnura scorpionoides'' a native species of Kenya.

Arachnura Higginsi
''Arachnura higginsi'', known as the tailed spider or scorpion tailed spider and the scorpion orb weaver, is a common Australia, Australian spider belonging to the family Araneidae. It occurs in many parts of Australia. Description and habit The body length of the female is around 16 mm with the male being much smaller at around 2 mm. Body colour varies between individuals and may range from cream through brown to black, sometimes with a brightly coloured yellow to red patch on the top of the Spider anatomy#Abdomen, abdomen. Juveniles may be more brightly coloured. Only the females possess a tail and this increases in length with each Ecdysis, moult. The prominent tail looks somewhat similar to that of a scorpion but has no sting and the spider is not considered to be dangerous to humans.

Araneidae
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields, and forests. The English word "orb" can mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, including many well-known large or brightly colored garden spiders. With 3,108 species in 186 genera worldwide, the Araneidae comprise the third-largest family of spiders (behind the Salticidae and Linyphiidae). Araneid webs are constructed in a stereotypical fashion, where a framework of nonsticky silk is built up before the spider adds a final spiral of silk covered in sticky droplets. Orb webs are also produced by members of other spider families. The long-jawed orb weavers (Tetragnathidae) were formerly included in the Araneidae; they are closely related, being part of the superfamily Araneo ...

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 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 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 fossil spider species '' Cenotextricella simoni'' was named in his ...
