Dicranolasma Mlandeni
The Dicranolasmatidae are a family of Opiliones, harvestmen with 16 described species in a single genus, ''Dicranolasma''. Description Species of ''Dicranolasma'' range in body length from three to 6.4 mm. Most parts of the body are encrusted with soil particles. The anterior region features a large headlike "hood" with the eyes in center, which consists of two curved processes. The chelicerae and pedipalps are both hidden under the hood in adults and about half as long as the body. The legs are short. Immature forms are quite different from adults. The immature form of ''D. opilionoides'' was even described as a different genus (''Amopaum''). The hood develops only gradually, so in young ''Dicranolasma'' the relatively longer pedipalps are carried outside the hood. (2007): Dicranolasmatidae Simon, 1879. In: Pinto-da-Rocha ''et al.'' 2007: 142ff Distribution Dicranolasmatidae occur mainly in the Mediterranean region northward to the southern Alps, the Carpathians, eastward t ...

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
