Anoteropsis Hilaris
''Anoteropsis hilaris'', commonly referred as the garden wolf spider or the grey wolf spider, is a species of wolf spider that is endemic to New Zealand. It is also known as the european wolf spider, because it lives in Southeastern Europe. Vink, C. (2002). Lycosidae (Arachnida: Araneae). ''Fauna of New Zealand'' 44: 1-94. __TOC__ Taxonomy and description ''Anoteropsis hilaris'' was first described three times in 1877 by Ludwig Koch in the same paper as ''Lycosa hilaris'', ''Lycosa umbrata'' and ''Pardosa vicaria''. In the same year, Peter D. Goyen described ''Lycosa virgata'' and ''Lycosa taylori.'' In 1899, Eugene Simon described ''Lycosa tremula''. In 1951, Carl Roewer renamed ''L. virgata'' as ''Lycosa virgatella''. In 1955, Roewer would transfer ''L virgatella'' and ''L. taylori'' to the ''Pardosa'' genus, ''L. tremula'' to the '' Arctosa'' genus and transfer ''L. umbrata'' to the '' Avicosa'' genus. In 1960, Roewer would transfer ''A. tremula'' to the '' Arct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae (). They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude, hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances; others wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spiders resemble nursery web spiders (family Pisauridae), but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their spinnerets, while the Pisauridae carry their egg sacs with their chelicerae and pedipalps. Two of the wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent; this distinguishes them from nursery web spiders, whose eyes are all of roughly equal size. This can also help distinguish them from the similar-looking grass spiders. Description The many genera of wolf spiders range in body size (legs not included) from less than . They have eight eyes arranged in three rows. The bottom row consists of four small eyes, the middle ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synonym (taxonomy)
The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name. For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved for two names at the same rank that refers to a taxon at that rank - for example, the name ''Papilio prorsa'' Linnaeus, 1758 is a junior synonym of ''Papilio levana'' Linnaeus, 1758, being names for different seasonal forms of the species now referred to as ''Araschnia le ...

Spiders Described In 1877
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, 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 for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 50,356 spider species in 132 families have been recorded by Taxonomy (biology), 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 segmentation (biology), segments are fused into two Tagma (biology), tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical Glossary of spider terms#pedicel, pedicel, however, as there is cur ...
