Pseudicius Procerus
''Pseudicius procerus'' is a species of jumping spider in the genus ''Pseudicius'' that ilves in South Africa. The spider was first defined in 2018 by Wanda WesoĊowska and Charles Haddad. The spider is small, with a cephalothorax between long and an Opisthosoma, abdomen between long. It is dark brown with a distinctive pattern on the abdomen. The male has a lattice-like design of white stripes and the female has three stripes, the rearmost broken in chevrons. The male has stout brown Arthropod leg, legs while the female has whitish-yellow, except the front legs, which are dark brown, longer and thicker. The species is similar to the related ''Pseudicius matabelensis'' but differs in its copulatory organs. The female has two pockets at the front of the epigyne and long seminal ducts leading to elongated spermathecae. The male has a very long curved tibial apophysis, or spike, and a medium-sized Embolus (spider anatomy), embolus that is attached to the tegulum. Taxonomy ''Pseudic ...

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] |
