Spider taxonomy. Spider taxonomy is the part of taxonomy that is concerned with the science of naming, defining and classifying all spiders, members of the Araneae order of the arthropod class Arachnida, which has more than 48,500 described species. [1] However, there are likely many species that have escaped the human eye as well as specimens ...

Evolution of spiders. A spider in Baltic amber. Spiders have been evolving for at least 380 million years. The group's origins lie within an arachnid sub-group defined by the presence of book lungs (the tetrapulmonates); [1][2] the arachnids as a whole evolved from aquatic chelicerate ancestors. More than 45,000 extant species have been ...
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields, and forests. The English word "orb" can mean "circular", [1] hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs.
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, [ 2 ] and spinnerets that extrude silk. [ 3 ] They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. [ 4 ][ 5 ] Spiders are found worldwide on every ...
The genus was established in 1878 by German arachnologist Friedrich Karsch.The fringed jumping spider (Portia fimbriata) is the type species.[1]Molecular phylogeny, a technique that compares the DNA of organisms to construct the tree of life, indicates that Portia is a member of a basal clade (i.e. quite similar to the ancestors of all jumping spiders), and that the Spartaeus, Phaeacius, and ...
50 genera, 989 species. Long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. [1] 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.
