Segestria (spider)
''Segestria'' is a genus of tube dwelling spiders that was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. Species it contains 21 species and one subspecies, found mainly in Eurasia, though some species are found in the Americas, two in North Africa, and one in New Zealand and one in Madagascar: * '' Segestria bavarica'' C.

Segestriidae
Tube-dwelling spiders (Segestriidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1893. It consists of five genera, two large and widespread, '' Segestria'' and ''Ariadna'', and three smaller genera, '' Citharoceps'', '' Gippsicola'' and '' Indoseges''. They are haplogyne spiders, related to the Dysderidae and placed in clade or superfamily Dysderoidea. Members of this family are easily recognized because their first three pairs of legs are arranged forward instead of two and they have six eyes instead of eight, arranged in a semicircle. The leg structure appears to be an adaptation for living in silken tubes. Unlike those of the atypical tarantulas, these tubes may branch and are often built in tree bark fissures, as well as under stones. Both ''Segestria'' and ''Ariadna'' live in North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa and New Zealand, though ''Ariadna'' also lives in Australia.

Pierre André Latreille
Pierre André Latreille (; 29 November 1762 – 6 February 1833) was a French zoologist, specialising in arthropods. Having trained as a Roman Catholic priest before the French Revolution, Latreille was imprisoned, and only regained his freedom after recognising a rare beetle species he found in the prison, ''Necrobia ruficollis''. He published his first important work in 1796 (), and was eventually employed by the . His foresighted work on arthropod systematics and taxonomy gained him respect and accolades, including being asked to write the volume on arthropods for George Cuvier's monumental work, , the only part not by Cuvier himself. Latreille was considered the foremost entomologist of his time, and was described by one of his pupils as "the prince of entomologists". Biography Early life Pierre André Latreille was born on 29 November 1762 in the town of Brive, then in the province of Limousin, as the illegitimate child of Jean Joseph Sahuguet d'Amarzit, général ...

Segestria Senoculata
''Segestria senoculata'', sometimes known as the snake-back spider, is a species of spider belonging to the family Segestriidae. It has a Palearctic distribution. The common names of this species (which has a body length of around 9 mm) refer to a row of black spots along the back of the grey abdomen which are thought to resemble the pattern found on some snakes. However, on some specimens these markings fuse to form a solid band. The carapace is shiny dark brown and elongated and the legs are pale brown with darker ringing. As with other members of this family, this spider makes a tubular web in a crevice and darts out to catch prey which crosses trip lines which fan out from the tube's entrance. ''Segestria senoculata'' is the only recorded prey for the Pepsid spider wasp ''Dipogon subintermedius'' in Great Britain Great Britain is an island in the North Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of continental Europe. With an area of , it is the largest of the Br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
