Iridopelma Vanini
''Iridopelma'' is a genus of Brazilian tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901. Diagnosis Males of this genus can be distinguished by the tibial spurs on leg 1 and 2, while females differ from most other genera by the anterior eye row, which is strongly curved forward. ''Avicularia'' and ''Typhochlaena'' both own the latter characteristics; however, ''Iridopelma'' can be distinguished from ''Avicularia'' by the spermatheca, which lacks a curvature, and from ''Typhochlaena'' by the spinnerets, which are finger-shaped. Species it contains six species, all found in Brazil: *'' Iridopelma hirsutum'' Pocock, 1901 ( type) – Brazil *'' Iridopelma katiae'' Bertani, 2012 – Brazil *'' Iridopelma marcoi'' Bertani, 2012 – Brazil *'' Iridopelma oliveirai'' Bertani, 2012 – Brazil *'' Iridopelma vanini'' Bertani, 2012 – Brazil *'' Iridopelma zorodes'' ( Mello-Leitão, 1926) – Brazil In synonymy *''I. palmicola'' (Mello-Leitão, 1945) = '' Iridopelma hi ...

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] |
Spiders Of Brazil
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 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 segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel, however, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had a separate ...

Theraphosidae Genera
Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy spiders of the family Theraphosidae. , 1,040 species have been identified, with 156 genera. The term "tarantula" is usually used to describe members of the family Theraphosidae, although many other members of the same infraorder (Mygalomorphae) are commonly referred to as "tarantulas" or "false tarantulas". Some of the more common species have become popular in the exotic pet trade. Many New World species kept as pets have setae known as urticating hairs that can cause irritation to the skin, and in extreme cases, cause damage to the eyes. Overview Like all arthropods, the tarantula is an invertebrate that relies on an exoskeleton for muscular support.Pomeroy, R. (2014, February 4). Pub.

Typhochlaena Seladonia
''Typhochlaena seladonia'' is a species of aviculariine tarantula, and is the type species of the genus ''Typhochlaena''. It is unique as an arboreal spider that constructs trapdoors in the bark of trees. The common name is the Brazilian jewel tarantula. Taxonomy ''T. seladonia'' was originally described by Carl Ludwig Koch, in Brazil in 1841, as ''Mygale seladonia''. In 1850 he changed its name to ''Typhochlaena seladonia''; then Eugène Simon changed it again to ''Avicularia seladonia''. In 1928, Candido Mello-Leitão changed the species name back to ''Typhochlaena seladonia'', but Andrew Smith (in 1993) changed it to ''Iridopelma seladonia'', and then Lina Almeida-Silva changed it to ''Iridopelma seladonium''. Rogèrio Bertani finally changed the name back to ''Typhochlaena seladonia'' in 2012. Characteristics The female ''Typhochlaena seladonia'' has long, thin spermathecae, which are spiralled distally. The male has a very long embolus. Additionally, both genders have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
