Modisimus Signatus
''Modisimus'' is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893. Description Spiders of the genus ''Modisimus'' have six eyes, unlike the eight typical of spiders. While some other pholcid genera also have six eyes, ''Modisimus'' differs from them in the prosoma having a median furrow and the eyes being situated on a turret (this turret is very high in males). Species it contains eighty-three species and one subspecies, found in Central America, Europe, Asia, North America, the Caribbean, South America, Australia, on the Seychelles, and the Pacific Islands: *'' M. angulatus'' Huber & Fischer, 2010 – Hispaniola *'' M. bachata'' Huber & Fischer, 2010 – Hispaniola *'' M. beneficus'' Gertsch, 1973 – Mexico *'' M. berac'' Huber, 2010 – Hispaniola *'' M. boneti'' Gertsch, 1971 – Mexico *'' M. bribri'' Huber, 1998 – Costa Rica, Panama *'' M. cahuita'' Huber, 1998 – Costa Rica *'' M. caldera'' Huber, 1998 – Panama *'' M. cavaticus'' ...

Proceedings Of The Entomological Society Of Washington
''Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of entomology published by the Entomological Society of Washington.

Reduviidae
The Reduviidae is a large Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan family of the suborder Heteroptera of the Order (biology), order Hemiptera (true bugs). Among the Hemiptera and together with the Nabidae almost all species are terrestrial ambush predators; most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic. The main examples of non-predatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking Parasitic nutrition#Ectoparasitism, ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae, with a few species from South America noted for their ability to transmit Chagas disease. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable: they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a Rostrum (anatomy), rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis. Taxonomy The family members are almost all predatory, except for a few blood-su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Endemic Fauna Of Puerto Rico
Endemism is the state of a species being found only in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or, in scientific literature, as an ''endemite''. Similarly, many species found in the Western ghats of India are examples of endemism. Endemism is an important concept in conservation biology for measuring biodiversity in a particular place and evaluating the risk of extinction for species. Endemism is also of interest in evolutionary biology, because it provides clues about how changes in the environment cause species to undergo range shifts (potentially expanding their range into a larger area or becomin ...
