Philodromus Niveus
''Philodromus'' is a genus of philodromid crab spiders. Spiders in this genus are distinctively flattened. The more than 250 described species are distributed throughout the Holarctic region, with few species reaching into more southern regions. Some are found in certain parts of Africa, with sporadic species occurring up to Australia. Only one species (''P. traviatus'') is found in (northern) South America. 16 species occur in Central Europe. Species Selected examples of ''Philodromus'' species: * '' P. aureolus'' * '' P. cespitum'' * '' P. dispar'' * '' P. fallax'' * '' P. margaritatus'' * '' P. rufus'' * '' P. rufus vibrans'' * '' P. vulgaris'' Dubious names ''Nomina dubia'' (dubious names) include: *''Philodromus depriesteri'' (Braun, 1965) *''Philodromus micans'' (Menge, 1875) Gallery Philodromus margaritatus.ogv, ''Philodromus margaritatus'' Metallic Crab Spider - Philodromus marxi, Leesylvania State Park, Woodbridge, Virginia.jpg, Male metallic crab spider ('' ...

Philodromus Aureolus
''Philodromus aureolus'', the wandering crab spider, is a mainly European running crab spider of the family Philodromidae. The taxonomy of the species group named after ''Philodromus aureolus'' is in a state of flux and a number of new species have recently been recognised. Description The prosoma often has a broad bright median band, which is plain. The legs are yellowish grey or brown with dark spots. The opisthosoma is very variably coloured, brown or yellowish brown, mostly spotted with bright median band and often with a dark cardiac mark that reaches the second pair of sigillae, and with dark chevrons. The male often more intensely patterned, although sometimes males may be plain dark brown. The body length of a male is 3.5-6.5 mm, that of females 4-8.5 mm. Biology ''Philodromus aureolus'' hunts by relying on camouflage, stealth and speed to hunt prey. The males are bright green, the females lighterer in colour and it is thought that they can change colour to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Araneomorphae Genera
The Araneomorphae (also called the Labidognatha) are an infraorder of spiders. They are distinguishable by chelicerae (fangs) that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action, in contrast to the Mygalomorphae (tarantulas and their close kin), where they point straight down. Araneomorphs comprise the vast majority of living spiders. Distinguishing characteristics Most spider species are Araneomorphae, which have fangs that face towards each other, increasing the orientations they can employ during prey capture. They have fewer book lungs (when present), and the females typically live one year. The Mygalomorphae have fangs that face towards the ground, and which are parallel to the long axis of the spider's body, thus they have only one orientation they can employ during prey capture. They have four pairs of book lungs, and the females often live many years. Image:Atrax robustus.jpg, This ''Atrax robustus'' shows the orientation of Myglamorphae fangs. Image:Che ...

Psyche (entomological Journal)
''Psyche'' is a scientific journal of entomology which was established in 1874 by the Cambridge Entomological Club as a "journal for the publication of biological contributions upon Arthropoda from any competent person". The name of the journal is derived from the Ancient Greek word for butterfly. The journal has been published since 1874 (with gaps from 1886 to 1887, 1995 to 1999, and 2000 to 2007). In 2007 the Club transferred the journal to the Hindawi Publishing Corporation, and it became an open-access journal in 2008, with articles distributed online under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Almost all back issues were scanned and are available online as PDF files. History Samuel Hubbard Scudder proposed to start an "Organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club" at its fourth meeting. When ''Psyche'' began publication, its first editor was B. P. Mann. Its articles concentrated on general anatomy, biological entomology, and to set up a Bibliographic Record of all writin ...
