Scytodes Weitschati
''Scytodes'' is a genus of spitting spiders that occur all around the world, with the most widely distributed species being ''Scytodes thoracica'', originally having a palearctic distribution but has since been introduced to North America, Argentina, India, Australia, Asia and New Zealand. Individuals of the genus are generally characterized by their predominant pale yellow coloration and black markings on their cephalothorax compounded with long, thin hairless legs with black bands. Taxonomy The first species of the genus was first described by Pierre André Latreille as ''Aranea thoraica'' in 1802 through "''Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des crustacés et des insectes"'' until the genus was later reclassified by Jean Victor Audouin as ''Scytodes'' in 1826. Appearance The genus exhibits sexual dimorphism, males range in size from 3.5 to 4 mm while females are slightly larger ranging from 4 to 4.5 mm. Spitting spiders have pale yellow bodies with black spo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scytodes Thoracica
''Scytodes thoracica'' is a spitting spider, so called because it spits a venomous sticky silken substance over its prey. Its size ranges between . The carapace is unusual in sloping upwards towards its rear end, whereas the abdomen slopes downwards. It has six eyes instead of the eight spiders usually have. It has a wide distribution, being found in Europe, North Africa, Turkey, temperate Asia to China, Korea and Japan. It has been introduced to North America, Argentina, India, Australia and New Zealand. This particular spitting spider features the presence of silk glands in its cephalothorax. Besides the silk glands in its abdomen, the spider also has silk glands connected with its venom glands. In this way the spider has the ability to make venomous silk. Other Arachnida, arachnids may also have silk glands in their cephalothorax, such as the pseudoscorpions. Hunting tactics In contrast to the pseudoscorpions that use the silk from the cephalothorax glands to make nests, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life and career Strand was born in Ål, Norway. He studied at the University of Kristiania (now University of Oslo). Around 1900 he focused on collecting insect specimens from Norway. These are now deposited at the university's museum, where he worked as a curator from 1901 to 1903.

He then left for Germany where he continued his studies of zoology at the University of Marburg (1903). He then worked with State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (1905) and, later, that of Tübingen and then with Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt.

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 Taxonomy (biology), 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 National Museum of Natural History (France), 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 fos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
