Trachelas Truncatulus
''Trachelas'' is a genus of araneomorph spiders originally placed with the Trachelidae, and later moved to the Corinnidae. Though the name was first used in an identification key published by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1866, it did not include a description for either genders. In 1872, O. Pickard-Cambridge described the type species, ascribing it to the same name given several years earlier. Koch revisited the genus and covered it more thoroughly shortly after the type species was described. Species it contains eighty-eight species: *'' T. alticola'' Hu, 2001 – China *'' T. anomalus'' (Taczanowski, 1874) – French Guiana *'' T. barroanus'' Chamberlin, 1925 – Panama *'' T. bicolor'' Keyserling, 1887 – Hispaniola *'' T. bispinosus'' F.

Ludwig Carl Christian Koch
Ludwig Carl Christian Koch (8 November 1825 – 1 November 1908) was a German entomologist and arachnologist. He was born in Regensburg, Germany, and died in Nuremberg, Germany. He studied in Nuremberg, initially law, but then turned to medicine and science. From 1850, he practiced as a physician in the Wöhrd district of Nuremberg. He is considered among the four most influential scientists on insects and spiders in the second half of the 19th century. He wrote numerous works on the arachinoids of Europe, Siberia, and Australia. His work earned him worldwide reputation as "Spider Koch". Sometimes confused with his father Carl Ludwig Koch (1778–1857), another famous arachnologist, his name is abbreviated L.Koch on species descriptions; his father's name is abbreviated C.L.Koch Pierre Bonnet.
