Hubbardiinae Cook, 1899 Contents |
Hubbardiidae is a family of arachnids, superficially resembling spiders. It is the larger of the two extant families of the order, Schizomida, and is divided into two subfamilies. The family is based on the description published by Orator F. Cook in 1899. [1] The American Arachnological Society assigns the common name hubbardiid shorttailed whipscorpion to members of this family. [2]
As of September 2022 [update] , the World Schizomida Catalog accepted the following seventy-six genera: [3]
Schizomida, also known as sprickets or short-tailed whip-scorpions, is an order of arachnids, generally less than 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in length. The order is not yet widely studied. E. O. Wilson has identified schizomids as among the "groups of organisms that desperately need experts to work on them."
Hubbardia is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Orator Cook in 1899.
Stenochrus portoricensis is a species of arachnid belonging to the family Hubbardiidae in the order Schizomida, which are commonly known as short-tailed whip scorpions. They are mostly found in North and Central America, but their parthenogenetic lifestyle allows them to live in other parts of the world in temperate climates. They are able to thrive in different parts of the world, especially in caves, forests, fallen logs, and abandoned nests of termites.
