Ohilimia Albomaculata
''Ohilimia'' is a spider genus of the jumping spider family, Salticidae. Description ''Ohilimia albomaculata'' reaches a body length of 7 to 8 mm, while ''O. scutellata'' is 5 to 7 mm long. The cephalothorax of ''O. albomaculata'' is densely covered with short hairs, ''O. scutellata'' is only sparsely covered. The sexes are similar, with males having distinctive shiny Scute, scuta. The first, elongated pair of legs is held in a mantis-like manner. It seems that ''Ohilimia'' mimic fly, flies in reverse: their first legs are held like the wings of a fly, and they move backwards.Davies & Żabka 1989 Relationships ''Ohilimia'' is probably closely related to ''Diolenius'' and ''Chalcolecta'', which also have elongated front legs. Distribution ''Ohilimia'' only occurs in rainforests of the northeastern Cape York Peninsula of Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas islands Ternate and Kai Islands, Kai. The current distribution seems to be due to past land bridges. Species , t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Salticidae Genera
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 ...

Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell (3 May 1830 – 22 December 1901) was a Swedish arachnologist. Thorell studied spiders with Giacomo Doria at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale de Genoa. He corresponded with other arachnologists, such as Octavius Pickard-Cambridge, Eugène Simon and Thomas Workman. He described more than 1,000 spider species during his time from the 1850 to 1900. Thorell wrote: ''On European Spiders'' (1869) and ''Synonym of European Spiders'' (1870-73).
