Troglohyphantes lucifuga is a species of cave spider of the family Linyphiidae. Its distribution is European: France, Italy, Switzerland. [1]
Troglohyphantes lucifuga is a small sized spider, with a body length of ca. 7mm. [2]
Jumping spiders or the Salticidae are a family of spiders. As of 2019, it contained over 600 described genera and over 6000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Although they normally move unobtrusively and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats or crossing long gaps. Both their book lungs and tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems. Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, with the anterior median pair being particularly large.
The Mesothelae are a suborder of spiders that includes a single living (extant) family, Liphistiidae, and a number of extinct families. This suborder is thought to form the sister group to all other living spiders, and to retain ancestral characters, such as a segmented abdomen with spinnerets in the middle and two pairs of book lungs. Members of Liphistiidae are medium to large spiders with eight eyes grouped on a tubercle. They are found only in China, Japan, and southeast Asia.
Psechridae is a family of araneomorph spiders with about 70 species in two genera. These are among the biggest cribellate spiders with body lengths up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) and funnel webs more than 1 metre in diameter.
Huttonia is a monotypic genus of ecribellate South Pacific araneomorph spiders in the Huttoniidae family containing the single species, Huttonia palpimanoides. Although only one species is described, there are still about twenty more undescribed species.
Microstigmatidae is a small family of spiders with about 25 described species in eight genera. They are small ground-dwelling and free-living spiders that make little use of silk.
Orsolobidae is a six-eyed spider family with about 180 described species in thirty genera. It was first described by J. A. L. Cooke in 1965, and was raised to family status from "Dysderidae" in 1985.
Mysmenidae is a spider family with about 135 described species in thirteen genera. The family is one of the least well known of the orb-weaving spiders because of their small size and cryptic behaviour. These spiders are found in humid habitats such as among leaf litter and in caves.
The Opisthothelae are spiders within the order Araneae, consisting of the Mygalomorphae and the Araneomorphae, but excluding the Mesothelae. The Opisthothelae are sometimes presented as an unranked clade and sometimes as a suborder of the Araneae. In the latter case, the Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae are treated as infraorders.
Masteria is a genus of curtain web spiders that was first described by L. Koch in 1873. They occur in the tropics of Central to South America, Asia and Micronesia, with one species found in Australia. M. petrunkevitchi males are 4 millimetres (0.16 in) long and females are 5 millimetres (0.20 in) long. M. lewisi, M. barona, and M. downeyi are slightly smaller and have only six eyes.
Troglohyphantes gracilis, one of several species to be occasionally called Kočevje subterranean spider, is a species of spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is endemic to Slovenia.
Troglohyphantes similis, one of several species occasionally called the Kočevje subterranean spider is a species of spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is endemic to Slovenia.
Troglohyphantes spinipes, one of several species sometimes referred to as the Kočevje subterranean spider, is a species of spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is endemic to Slovenia.
At least three species share the name Kočevje subterranean spider:
Caponiidae is a family of ecribellate haplogyne spiders that are unusual in a number of ways. They differ from other spiders in lacking book lungs and having the posterior median spinnerets anteriorly displaced to form a transverse row with the anterior lateral spinnerets. Most species have only two eyes, which is also unusual among spiders. A few species of Caponiidae variously have four, six or eight eyes. In some species the number of eyes will increase when the spiderling changes its skin as it grows towards adulthood.
The Euctenizidae are a family of mygalomorph spiders. They are now considered to be more closely related to Idiopidae.
Troglohyphantes vignai is a species of cave spider of the family Linyphiidae. It is endemic to Italy.
Troglohyphantes nigraerosae is a species of cave spider of the family Linyphiidae. It is endemic to Italy.
Troglohyphantes iulianae is a species of cave spider of the family Linyphiidae.
Christa Laetitia Deeleman-Reinhold is a Dutch arachnologist. She graduated from the Leiden University in 1978. She specializes in spiders from Southeast Asia and Southern Europe, particularly cave-dwelling and tropical spiders. She donated a collection of about 25,000 Southeast Asian spiders, the largest collection of Southeast Asian spiders in existence, to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. In addition to numerous articles, she has written the book Forest Spiders of South East Asia (2001). She is married to arachnologist Paul Robert Deeleman, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
