Pseudicius Amicus
''Pseudicius'' is a genus of the jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1885. The name is combined of Greek ''pseudo'' "false" and the salticid genus name '' Icius''. The small genus ''Wesolowskana'' (formerly known as ''Luxuria'') should possibly be included in this genus. There is some dispute whether '' Afraflacilla'' is a distinct genus or should be included in ''Pseudicius''. ''Festucula'' and ''Marchena'' are other close relatives, these genera form a monophyletic group. Species , the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species. Many species formerly placed here have been transferred to a variety of other genera. * '' Pseudicius adustus'' Wesołowska, 2006 – Namibia * '' Pseudicius africanus'' Peckham & Peckham, 1903 – South Africa, Lesotho * '' Pseudicius amicus'' Prószyński, 2000 – Middle East * ''Pseudicius andamanius'' ( Tikader, 1977) – Andaman Islands * ''Pseudicius athleta'' Wesołowska, 2011 – Uganda, Kenya * ''Pseudicius badius'' ( ...

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 ...

Pseudicius Athleta
''Pseudicius athleta'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus '' Pseudicius'' that is found in Kenya and Uganda. The spider was first defined in 2011 by Wanda Wesołowska. It lives communally, in individual nests which may contain either male or female spiders, which engage in complex courtship rituals. The spider is small, with an elongated cephalothorax between long and an abdomen between long. The carapace is dark brown with a black eye field but the abdomen has a pattern that differs between the male, which is marked by a brownish-fawn streak, and the female, which has a complex pattern consisting of a herring-bone pattern on the top, diagonal patches on the edge and two small round white spots on the bottom. ''Pseudicius athleta'' can be differentiated from other species in the genus by its copulatory organs. The male has a long thin embolus and characteristic tibial apophysis, which has three prongs. The female has narrow tube-like spermathecae. However, it is t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
