Selenogyrus austini is a theraphosid spider. As of February 2016, it is a member of the selenogyrinae. It is native to Sierra Leone. [1]
The specific name "austini" is in honour of the collector of the type specimens, Mr. E. E. Austin. [1]
S. austini has a characteristic crescent-shaped layout of the granules on the labium, and also has unique layout of the labio-sternal "mounds": the anterior pair being larger than in other species. It also has relatively stout stridulatory clavate ("club-shaped" [2] ) setae on the chelicerae. The spermathecae are quite narrow at their base, and the clypeus is small but not absent. It is 41 mm in length. It is uniformly brown. [3]

"Ziggy Stardust" is a song written by English singer-songwriter David Bowie for his 1972 concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott, he recorded it at Trident Studios in London in November 1971 with his backing band the Spiders from Mars—comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Lyrically, the song is about Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual alien rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. The character was influenced by English singer Vince Taylor, as well as the Legendary Stardust Cowboy and Kansai Yamamoto. Although Ziggy is introduced earlier on the album, this song is its centrepiece, presenting the rise and fall of the star in a very human-like manner. Musically, it is a glam rock song, like its parent album, and is based around a Ronson guitar riff.
