Leucauge ditissima, is a species of spider of the genus Leucauge . It is found in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. [1]
Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) is 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.
Leucauge (loo-kah-gee) is a spider genus of long-jawed orb weavers, with more than 170 species and fully pantropical distribution.
Leucauge venusta, known as the orchard spider, is a long-jawed orbweaver spider that occurs from southern Canada to Colombia, along the East coast, reaching into the central US, also in South Asia.The web is often oriented horizontally, with the spider hanging down in the center.
Neonectria ditissima is a fungal plant pathogen. It causes cankers that can kill branches of trees by choking them off. Apple and beech trees are two susceptible species.
Leucauge celebesiana, commonly called the black-striped orchard spider, is a species of spider belonging to the family Tetragnathidae. It is found from India to China, Japan, Sulawesi and New Guinea.
Nigricauda, a Latin word meaning black-tailed, may refer to:
Leucauge argyra is a spider and is known for being the host of the Hymenoepimecis argyraphaga, a Costa Rican or Puerto Rican parasitoid wasp. It is found in Asia, United States and Brazil. Leucauge argyra is known to be a colonial species, with spiders maintaining individual territories/orb webs within a scaffolding of shared support lines maintained by the group. Colonies of multi-generational individuals are often seen with some levels of size stratification.
Leucauge subblanda is one of several species of orchard spider found in Russia, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
Leucauge lamperti, is a species of spider of the genus Leucauge. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Opas is a genus of long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1896. Though few males have ever been studied, they are much smaller than females. Their pedipalps have a paracymbium, and a conductor that projects from the tegulum, enclosing the embolus. They sit at the center of orb-shaped webs, many attached to low plants. Their webs are relatively flat, though rotated 45 degrees from horizontal. It has previously been synonymized with Leucauge.
Pickardinella is a monotypic genus of Mexican long-jawed orb-weavers containing the single species, Pickardinella setigera. The species was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge under the name Leucauge setigera, and was moved to its own genus in 1951. Physically, they resemble members of Opadometa and Leucauge. Males are very small, only growing up to about 2 millimetres (0.079 in) long. A female has never been found.
Opadometa fastigata, the pear-shaped leucauge, is a species of spiders in the family Tetragnathidae. It is found in India to Philippines and Sulawesi.
Leucauge argenteanigra is an endemic long-jawed orb weaving spider species of the family Tetragnathidae that lives on São Tomé Island. It was first described in 1884 by Ferdinand Karsch as Meta argenteanigra.
Leucauge argyrobapta, or Mabel's orchard orb weaver, is a species of long-jawed orb weaver in the spider family Tetragnathidae. It is found from the United States south to Brazil.
Leucauge granulata is one of the long-jawed orb weaver spiders. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, China, the Sunda Islands (Indonensia), Australia, and French Polynesia. Leucauge granulata marginata is known to inhabit New Guinea. Leucauge granulata rimitara in French Polynesia.
Leucauge decorata, the decorative silver orb spider, is one of the long-jawed orb weaver spiders. A medium to large sized orb weaving spider, with a body length up to 12 mm long (female). Male to 6 mm. This species has a "point" to the end of the abdomen. Found in Africa, India, south east Asia, also to Australia.
Leucauge dromedaria, the humped silver orb spider, is one of the long-jawed orb weaver spiders. A medium to large sized orb weaving spider, with a body length up to 15 mm long (female). Male to 6 mm. This species has a second pair of "humps" on the abdomen. Found in Australia, some south Pacific Islands and New Zealand.
Leucauge mariana is a long-jawed orb weaver spider, native to Central America and South America. Its web building and sexual behavior have been studied extensively. Males perform several kinds courtship behavior to induce females to copulate and to use their sperm.
