Vernon Victor Hickman
Vernon Victor Hickman (1894–1984) was an entomologist, born and resident in Tasmania, who became a leading authority on the spiders of Australia. The genus '' Hickmania'' and its formerly recognised family Hickmaniidae were named in tribute to the author. In 1979 Hickman was awarded the title Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) "for service to zoological science and education". Hickman was proudest of the Anders Retzius medal, awarded in 1951, but said to be modest regarding his other achievements. Hickman was the eldest son of Pauline née Patterson and her husband, George Milford Hickman, a Tasmanian storekeeper. He was educated at the University of Tasmania and briefly lectured before enlisting to serve in first world war, returning from the experience of the Western Front with a psychological impact that remained throughout his life.Eric Guiler, 'Hickman, Vernon Victor (1894–1984)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian ...

Triaenonychidae
The Triaenonychidae are a family of harvestmen with about 120 genera and more than 440 described species. Description Most Triaenonychidae are from three to five millimeters long, although some species from South Africa can be only long. Some species in the subfamily Adaeinae are almost long. Legs are almost always short, measuring . The armed pedipalps are large, and much stronger than the legs. Distribution Triaenonychidae are found in North and South America, Japan and Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and Madagascar. Relationships The Triaenonychidae should probably split into at least two families. The genera from the Australian region are considered Triaenonychidae ''sensu stricto'', and may include the strange Synthetonychiidae; the northern species should be grouped with Travuniidae. Name The name of the type genus ''Triaenonyx'' is combined from Ancient Greek (', "trident, fish spear") and (', "claw"). Genera The following genera are included in the family:Joel ...
