Most spiders deploy paralytic venom for prey capture, but adults of the yellow sac spider (Cheiracanthium punctorium) instead produce a predominantly defensive to safeguard their offspring. Here, we characterized molecular repertoire C. punctorium shed light on its evolutionary history. Unlike in other spiders, mostly comprises neurotoxic double domain neurotoxin 19 family (CSTX) peptides and enzymes, such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Comparative venomics four representing two infraorders...
Selenobrachys Schmidt, 1999 and Chilocosmia Schmidt & von Wirth, 1992 were considered junior synonyms to Orphnaecus Simon, 1892 without further morphological investigation nor the use of molecular methods analysis. Herein, type specimens are reexamined with newly collected samples currently known species, including new from Romblon Island, Philippines. Morphological analyses performed, utilizing cytochrome oxidase I (COI) ribosomal genes (12S–tRNA-Val–16S). Synapomorphies in structure...
Spider material collected from Oman and Iran revealed a new species of the genus Ischnocolus Ausserer, 1871, which is described as I. vanandelae sp. n. New records jickelii L. Koch, 1875 Saudi Arabia, Yemen United Arab Emirates show larger distribution this than previously known. The natural history rather unusual colour polymorphism latter discussed. now includes eight species, whose mapped.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E5DBC693-8B29-4E80-BB82-938C20E19640
The tarantula genus Phlogiellus (Pocock 1897) is revised. diagnosed against all other selenocosmiine genera for the first time along with a new generic description. tribe Yamiini (Kishida 1920) tribes. All species are from congeners; mapped. Complete dichotomous keys both sexes of included. Where appropriate, intraspecific variation discussed. Four described: P. bogadeki sp. nov. Hong Kong, johnreylazoi Palawan Island, Philippines, moniqueverdezae Ranong, Thailand, and pelidnus Sabah,...
Eine neue Gattung, Aspinochilus gen. n., die zur Unterfamilie Ornithoctoninae (Araneae: Theraphosidae) gehört, wird anhand der Typusart rufus sp. n. aus Ost-Java beschrieben. Zudem eine Art, Phormingochilus hatihati West-Sulawesi Die äußeren morphologischen Merkmale und Genitalstrukturen neuen Taxa werden illustriert mit denen von eng verwandten Arten verglichen.
Abstract Mygalomorph spiders of the family Theraphosidae, known to broader public as tarantulas, are among most recognizable arachnids on earth due their large size and widespread distribution. Their use urticating setae is a notable adaptation that has evolved exclusively in certain New World theraphosids. Thus far, evolutionary history Theraphosidae remains poorly understood; theraphosid systematics still largely relies morphological datasets, which suffer from high degrees homoplasy,...
