Tetragnathidae
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. They have elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae, and build small orb webs with an open hub with few, wide-set radii and spirals with no signal line or retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water. Systematics , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following extant genera: *'' Allende'' Álvarez-Padilla, 2007 — Chile, Argentina *'' Antillognatha'' Bryant, 1945 — Hispaniola *'' Atelidea'' Simon, 1895 — Sri Lanka *'' Azilia'' Keyserling, 1881 — United States, Panama, South America, Caribbean *'' Chrysometa'' Simon, 1894 — South America, Central America, Mexico, Caribbean *'' Cyrtognatha'' Keyserling, 1881 — South America, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico *'' Dianleucauge'' Song & Zhu, 1994 — China *'' Diphya'' Nicolet, 1849 — Asia, South America, Africa *'' Dolichognatha'' O.

Tetragnatha Montana
''Tetragnatha montana'', commonly known as the silver stretch spider, is a species of long-jawed orb weaver from the family Tetragnathidae that has a Palearctic distribution. It preys mostly on flies and mosquitoes. The name silver stretch spider refers to its shiny metallic colour and its habit of extending its legs into a stick like shape. Taxonomy and naming The silver stretch spider was described by the French naturalist Eugène Simon in 1874 in his work ''Les arachnides de France''. Polish zoologist Władysław Kulczyński named ''T. solandri'' in 1903, subsequently classified as the same species. The generic name, ''Tetragnatha'', is made up of ''Tetra'' meaning "four" and ''gnatha'' meaning "jaws" in Greek; referring to the unusually long chelicerae and fangs of these spiders and the specific name ''montana'' means "of the mountains". Description The female ''Tetragnatha montana'' is larger than the male with a body length of 7–13 mm compared to the male's 6–8&n ...

Leucauge
''Leucauge'' is a spider genus of long-jawed orb weavers, with over 160 species and fully pantropical distribution. The genus was first documented in Scottish zoologist Adam White's 1841 ''Description of new or little known Arachnida''. Charles Darwin had suggested the name of the genus and collected the first specimen in May 1832, later named ''L. argyrobapta''. A vague description and the loss of the only specimen left the genus ill-defined. ''Leucauge'' developed into something of a wastebasket taxon containing 300 loosely related species, until research in the year 2010 resolved ''L. argyrobapta'' as a synonym of the quite common '' L. venusta'' and allowed revision and reclassing of the genus. However, a 2018 paper restored '' Leucauge argyrobapta'' as a separate species. The body and leg shapes and the silver, black and yellow markings of ''Leucauge'' females make identification of the genus relatively easy. They have two rows of long, slender curved hairs on the fem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glenognatha
''Glenognatha'' is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1887. It was considerably revised in 2016. Species it contains thirty-six species, found in North America, Central America, Asia, South America, the Caribbean, Africa, on the French Polynesian Islands, and Saint Helena: *'' Glenognatha argenteoguttata'' (Berland, 1935) – Marquesas Is. *'' Glenognatha argyrostilba'' ( O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876) – Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Niger, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia.

Tetragnatha Montana - 2013-06-08
''Tetragnatha'' is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers found all over the world. It was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804, and it contains hundreds of species. Most occur in the tropics and subtropics, and many can run over water. They are commonly called stretch spiders in reference to their elongated body form and their ability to hide on blades of grass or similar elongated substrates by stretching their front legs forward and the others behind them. The name ''Tetragnatha'' is derived from Greek, ''tetra-'' a numerical prefix referring to four and ''gnatha'' meaning jaw. Evolution to cursorial behavior occurred long ago in a few different species, the most studied being those found on the Hawaiian islands. One of the biggest and most common species is '' T. extensa'', which has a holarctic distribution. It can be found near lakes, river banks or swamps. Large numbers of individuals can often be found in reeds, tall grass, and around minor trees and shrubs. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
