Over the last decade, requests for arachnid medicine have increased, but the range of diagnostic tests is limited (Pizzi, 2011). Hemolymph analysis could be an important tool to evaluate arachnid health. Ninety-three mature Cameroon red tarantulas (Hysterocrates gigas) from the Toronto zoo were used to collect 0.35 ml of hemolymph from the dorsal opisthosoma. Hemocytes were characterized and reference intervals were established for absolute and differential hemocyte counts and electrolyte values (Scherman, 1981; Friedrichs et al, 2012; Soares, et al, 2013; Bednaski et al, 2015). These results help support a more quantitative assessment and thus a better understanding of arachnid health. Objectives: 1. To characterize the circulating hemocytes in the Cameroon red tarantula. 2. To provide reference intervals for hemocyte absolute and differential counts, as well as for hemolymph electrolyte values in the Cameroon red tarantula. Conclusion: Hemocyte counts for the Cameroon red tarantula indicate that plasmatocytes are predominant; granulocytes are common while cyanocytes and prohemocytes are rare. The hemolymph electrolyte values are comparable to other tarantula species but differ from dog and cat blood such that tarantulas have higher sodium, chloride, and ionized calcium, while having lower potassium and glucose levels. Hemocyte characterization and counts as well as electrolyte values established in this study will aid in the health assessment of this species and others albeit limited as more such studies on different species are needed to be of more assistance.

The case of Embrik Strand (Arachnida: Araneae) Wolfgang Nentwig, Theo Blick, Daniel Gloor, Peter Jäger & Christian Kropf doi: 10.30963/aramit5904 Abstract. When the museums of Lübeck, Stuttgart, Tübingen and partly of Wiesbaden were destroyed during World War II between 1942 and 1945, also all or parts of their type material were destroyed, among them types from spider species described by Embrik Strand bet- ween 1906 and 1917. He did not illustrate type material from 181 species and one subspecies and described them only in an insufficient manner. These species were never recollected during more than 110 years and no additional taxonomically relevant information was published in the arachnological literature. It is impossible to recognize them, so we declare these 181 species here as nomina dubia. Four of these species belong to monotypic genera, two of them to a ditypic genus described by Strand in the context of the mentioned species descriptions. Consequently, without including valid species, the five genera Carteroniella Strand, 1907, Eurypelmella Strand, 1907, Theumella Strand, 1906, Thianella Strand, 1907 and Tmeticides Strand, 1907 are here also declared as nomina dubia. Palystes modificus minor Strand, 1906 is a junior synonym of P.

  • Araneae (Spider) Photos
    Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

Highlights • We examined 363 published bites by theraphosid spiders on the incidence of skeletal muscle cramps in human bite victims • Muscle cramps were caused by Theraphosidae from Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America • Highest incidence rates were recorded for theraphosid subfamilies Poecilotheriinae, Harpactirinae and Stromatopelminae • Subfamilies causing high muscle cramp incidence rates have a high likelihood of larger venom yields Abstract Despite the popularity of theraphosids, detailed reports on bite symptoms are still limited to few geographic regions and subfamilies. We therefore examined 363 published bite reports and noticed muscles cramps caused by theraphosids from nearly all continents and subfamilies. Symptoms are mostly locally restricted and mild, but 12.7% of victims experience pronounced cramps with highest incidence rates by Poecilotheriinae, Harpactirinae and Stromatopelminae subfamilies. We discuss how variations in venom quantity correlate with muscle cramp prevalence. Keywords Theraphosidae; muscle cramps; convulsion; spider; envenomation; bite 1 © 2021 by the author(s).

Urticating setae are exclusive to New World tarantulas and are found in approximately 90% of the New World species. Six morphological types have been proposed and, in several species, two morphological types can be found in the same individual. In the past few years, there has been growing concern to learn more about urticating setae, but many questions still remain unanswered. After studying individuals from several theraphosid species, we endeavored to find more about the segregation of the different types of setae into different abdominal regions, and the possible existence of patterns; the morphological variability of urticating setae types and their limits; whether there is variability in the length of urticating setae across the abdominal area; and whether spiders use different types of urticat- ing setae differently. We found that the two types of urticating setae, which can be found together in most theraphosine species, are segregated into distinct areas on the spider’s abdomen: type III occurs on the median and posterior areas with either type I or IV surrounding the patch of type III setae.
