Paradonea presleyi is a species of araneomorph spiders in the family Eresidae. [1]
This species is found in Zimbabwe and South Africa. [1]
The male holotype has white setae concentrated in the thoracic and eye regions. The cephalic region is semicircular, wider than it is long, and moderately raised. The chelicerae are contiguous mesally, with a lateral boss. The legs have patches and longitudinal bands of white setae. Femur I is slightly thickened with a thick brush of dark setae; there are rows of distal ventral macrosetae on metatarsus I–IV, and a few scattered ventral macrosetae on tarsus I–IV and metatarsus II–IV. The dorsum of the abdomen has two longitudinal stripes of white hairs which are parallel anteriorly, diverge posteriorly, before connecting by transverse portion. The median part is medium brown, with the ectal and posterior parts being dark brown.
The male palp have proximal-distal axis. The tegulum is subrectangular, and the conductor and embolus together form an apical complex moving distally. The conductor is moderately sclerotized and broad with a helical ridge fringed with distinct papillae, and hooked distally. Tegular division is slightly longer than the embolic division. The cymbium has several prolateral macrosetae.
No information has been published about the female of the species. [1]
A patronymic in honor of Elvis Presley, described by Miller et al. as the "king of rock and roll and subject of innumerable black velvet paintings” [1]
Velvet spiders are a small group of spiders almost entirely limited to the Old World, with the exception of one species known from Brazil. In Europe, some are commonly called the ladybird spiders.
Cherax parvus is a species of crayfish in the family Parastacidae. It is only known from its type locality – the Upper Tully River catchment in the Cardwell Range of north-eastern Queensland – and is listed as data deficient on the IUCN Red List. It was discovered in a rainforest catchment in a highland of northeastern Queensland during a Queensland Museum expedition to the upper Tully River area in November 1992. It is one of the smallest species in the genus. No species of Cherax has been considered endemic to wet upland or highland areas before it was discovered; most previous records were from elevations less than 400 meters. It also has several morphological features unique to the genus, and does not appear closely related to any extant species, suggesting a long period of geographic isolation.
Phoneutria pertyi is a species of spiders in the family Ctenidae, found in Brazil.
Micropterix aglaella is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae.It is found in southern France, south-western Switzerland and northern Italy.
This glossary describes the terms used in formal descriptions of spiders; where applicable these terms are used in describing other arachnids.
Stenoterommata palmar is a mygalomorph spider of Argentina, named after its type locality: Parque Nacional El Palmar, Entre Rios. Females differ from other three-clawed Stenoterommata in the spermathecae having one triangular dome with a single receptaculum arising from its base; males are most similar to those of S. tenuistyla, but lack short ventral spines on the metatarsus I, and have a long, curved spine on the apical third of their ventral tibia I. Its burrowing behaviour is similar to that of S. tenuistyla.
Acanthogonatus huaquen is a mygalomorph spider of Chile, its name referring to its type locality: Huaquén, Chile. Males are recognized from other two-clawed Acanthogonatus by the bulb with a lateral keel delimiting a concave area; females by the spermathecae with an almost conical basal mound and its duct arising from its tip.
Acanthogonatus quilocura is a mygalomorph spider of Chile, its name referring to the seemingly unending number of species within this genus. Males are similar to those of A. tacuariensis, from which are distinguished by a curved metatarsus I; female spermathecae are characteristic in having a strongly bent duct arising from the base of a blunt basal dome.
Seothyra, commonly known as the buckspoor spiders, buck spoor spiders or just spoor spiders, belong to a sand-dwelling, burrowing genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Eresidae. The 13 species are endemic to the arid, sandy flats and semistabilized red dunes of southern Africa. They are sexually dimorphic. The tiny males, which are seldom seen, imitate sugar ants or velvet ants in their appearance and habits, while the females hide in and hunt from their characteristic burrows. They are thermophilous, with males as well as females being most active on hot days.
Antrodiaetus microunicolor is a species of antrodiaetid mygalomorph spider. It is found in the United States of America.
Augacephalus is a genus of harpacterine theraphosid spiders. It has three species, all of which are found in Africa.
Avicularia juruensis is a species of spider in the family Theraphosidae, found in South America. Avicularia urticans was brought into synonymy in 2017. It has been given the English name Amazonian pink toe spider. Under the synonym Avicularia urticans, it is also known as the Peruvian pinktoe tarantula. It is a large mygalomorph spider, with a maximum body length over 30 mm (1.2 in) and the longest fully extended leg about 60 mm (2.4 in). Like other species in the genus Avicularia, specimens under this name are sold as pets, although their identity has not been confirmed by taxonomic studies.
Bucolus fourneti is a native Australian, small, hairy coccinellid beetle approximately 2.1-4.5 mm in diameter. It was described by Étienne Mulsant in 1850
Brachyopa flavescens, The Yellow Sapeater, is a fairly common species of syrphid fly. It has been observed in northeastern North America. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. Larvae for this genus are of the rat-tailed type. B.flavescens larvae have not been described.
Plexippus petersi is a species of jumping spider native to Asia that has been introduced to Africa and Pacific islands. The male is between 6 and 10 mm in length, and the female is around 10 millimetres (0.39 in). This spider is commonly known as the tropical flycatcher or small zebra jumper.
Sphegina (Asiosphegina) adusta is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in Myanmar. It's easily identified by its large size, left side surstylus with a number of unusual lobes, and general dark-brown coloration. It's similar to S. atricolor and S. furva, but unlike these species it lacks a transverse crest at the base of the lobe located sinistrolaterally at the posterior margin of male sternite IV.
Sphegina (Asiosphegina) albolobata is a species of hoverfly in the genus Sphegina found in Vietnam. It's similar to S. (A.) licina, but differs by having the ventral lobe of both gonostyli narrower, apicodorsal part of the right superior lobe shorter, and the ventral part of the left superior lobe with more prominent anterior, medial, and posterior lobes.
Sphegina crucivena is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in Kambaiti Pass, Myanmar, a montane forest with swampy areas and streams located 2000 meters above sea level.
Sphegina quadrisetae is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in China. It's characterized by the long black pile posterior of the posteromedial corner of the eye, the scutellum with four long black setae at posterior margin, and the black and extremely strongly antero-ventrally projected face.
Nesticella quelpartensis, sometimes referred to as the Jeju cave baby spider, is a species of spider found only in South Korea. Its sole habitat is the lava caves of Jeju Island.
