	Phrynus Operculatus ''Phrynus operculatus'' is a species of tailless whipscorpion in the family Phrynidae. Description This species is of medium size, measuring 18–22 mm in total length. It is of chestnut color, slightly reddish on the carapace and the pedipalps; the front area is moderately narrow, with the front edge gently bilobed. The basal segment of the chelicerae has an external tooth. Pedipalps have four anterior spines in the trochanter. In the female, the gonopods appear with the sclerite relatively short, wide in the base and with the apex narrow and curved towards the ventral surface. Distribution This species is distributed in the United States in the state of Texas and in Mexico in the states of Nuevo León, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, Morelos, Oaxaca and Chiapas. Habitat This species, having a wide distribution, seems to have great ecological plasticity. It has been found under stones, under semi-shed tree bark, and under dry cac ...

picture info	Amblypygi Amblypygi is an ancient order of arachnid chelicerate arthropods also known as African cave-dwelling spiders, whip spiders and tailless whip scorpions (not to be confused with whip scorpions or vinegaroons that belong to the related order Thelyphonida). The name "amblypygid" means "blunt tail", a reference to a lack of the flagellum that is otherwise seen in whip scorpions. Amblypygids possess no silk glands or venomous fangs. They rarely bite if threatened, but can grab fingers with their pedipalps, resulting in thorn-like puncture injuries. As of 2016, 5 families, 17 genera and around 155 species had been discovered and described. They are found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide; they are mainly found in warm and humid environments and like to stay protected and hidden within leaf litter, caves, or underneath bark. Some species are subterranean; all are nocturnal. Fossilized amblypygids have been found dating back to the Carboniferous period, such as ''Weygoldtina''. ...

picture info	Animals Described In 1902 Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have 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 bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinoderms and ...
