Cembalea Affinis
''Cembalea affinis'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Cembalea'' that lives in Guinea. It was first described in 2002 by Christine Rollard and Wanda Wesołowska. It is very similar to the closely related species ''Cembalea pulmosa'', and its name recalls the strong relationship between the two species. However, it can be distinguished from other spdiers, including ''Cembalea pulmosa'', by its long thin whip-like Embolus (spider anatomy), embolus. The spider is small and brown, with a carapace that is typically long and an Opisthosoma, abdomen that is typically long. The dark brown chelicerae have two teeth at the front and one at the rear. It has a large Spider vision, eye field, which is typical for the genus, and a row of very long dark hairs on the Cymbium (spider anatomy), cymbium. Taxonomy ''Cembalea affinis'' is a species of jumping spider that was first described by Christine Rollard and Wanda Wesołowska in 2002. It is one of over 500 species identified by ...

Cembalea Triloris
''Cembalea triloris'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Cembalea'' that lives in Namibia and South Africa. It was first described in 2011 by Wanda Wesołowska and Charles Haddad. The spider gets its name from the existence of three distinctive white stripes on its back, more noticeable on the male. The spider is small, with a dark brown carapace that is between long and a lighter sandy or yellowish-white abdomen that is between long. It has a large eye field and a clypeus that extends to the edge of the carapace. It can also be distinguished from other members of the genus by the large spike that protrudes from the abdomen and the male's long embolus. Taxonomy ''Cembalea triloris'' is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska and Charles Haddad in 2011. It is one of over 500 species identified by the Polish arachnologist Wesołowska. It was placed in the genus ''Cembalea'', which had been first described by Wesołowska in 1993. The ...

Cembalea Hirsuta
''Cembalea hirsuta'' is a species of jumping spider that lives in Namibia. It was first described in 2011 by Wanda Wesołowska. Only the male has been identified. The spider is small, with a brown cephalothorax that is between long and an abdomen that is between long and may either be grey or brown. The abdomen can have a range of different patterns, including white spots or a single brown stripe. The spider's large eye field is typical for the genus. It has very hairy pedipalps and a long embolus that curls around the palpal bulb, which enables it to be distinguished from other spiders. Taxonomy ''Cembalea hirsuta'' is a jumping spider that was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 2011. It is one of over 500 species identified by the Polish arachnologist during her career. It was placed in the genus ''Cembalea'', which had been first described by Wesołowska in 1993. The species name recalls the very hairy pedipalps. The genus was placed in the subtribe Thira ...

Wanda Wesołowska
Wanda Wesołowska (born 11 August 1950) is a Polish zoologist known for her work with jumping spiders. She has described more species of jumping spider than any contemporary writer, and is second only to Eugène Simon in the history of arachnology. Originally a student of ornithology, she developed an interest in jumping spiders while still a student at the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in the 1970s. She subsequently undertook study into the genus ''Heliophanus'' at the University of Wroclaw. Her subsequent doctoral thesis described 44 new species, and joined the staff at the university. She stayed until retiring in 2020. Her research included the taxonomy and zoogeography of jumping spiders, and has included extensive work on African genera like ''Menemerus'' and ''Pachyballus''. She has identified over 500 species, including half of all those from South Africa, as well as having more than 20 named after her. Early life Wanda Wesołowska (née Nowysz) was ...

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] |
Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Salticidae
Jumping spiders are a group of spiders that constitute the family Salticidae. As of 2019, this family contained over 600 described genera and over 6,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems (bimodal breathing). Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the anterior median pair being particularly large. Distinguishing characteristics Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye pa ...

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 ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.
