Emathis Astorgasensis
''Emathis'' is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders) with ten described species. Half of the species occurs from Sumatra to the Philippines, the other five occur in the West Indies. It is not certain that these two groups should reside within the same genus. This genus is very similar to the closely related ''Lepidemathis'', which are larger.Murphy & Murphy 2000: 283f Species * ''Emathis astorgasensis'' Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 – Philippines * ''Emathis coprea'' (Thorell, 1890) – Sumatra * ''Emathis luteopunctata'' Petrunkevitch, 1930 – Puerto Rico * ''Emathis makilingensis'' Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 – Philippines * ''Emathis minuta'' Petrunkevitch, 1930 – Puerto Rico * ''Emathis portoricensis'' Petrunkevitch, 1930 – Puerto Rico * ''Emathis scabra'' (Thorell, 1890) – Sumatra * ''Emathis tetuani'' Petrunkevitch, 1930 – Puerto Rico * ''Emathis unispina'' Franganillo, 1930 – Cuba * ''Emathis weyersi'' Simon, 1899 – Sumatra to Philippines Foo ...

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 ...
