A new Leiobunum species is described from Spain, Leiobunum incantaturbs sp.n. The species is characterised by its colour pattern, large size and very long legs, the absence of denticle rows on the retrolateral sides of coxae I to III and its penial morphology. It has been found in two separate areas, Serranía de Cuenca (Castilla-La Mancha) and Sier...

... denticle rows on prolateral (front: F) or retrolateral (back: B) sides of coxae I-IV, indicating weak denticle rows with lower-case letters (f, b) and facultative rows with apostrophe (f', b'). BLI (Beinlänge Index [Staręga, 1972]) is the ratio between the length of femur I and the cephalothorax width (at level of lobes between coxae II and III). (Fig. 1, 2). (Fig. 3). Prosoma margins bordered with black. Supracheliceral lamellae extended into a pair of blunt projections which bear a few indistinct black denticles (Fig. ...
Context 2
... Most specimens of L. incantaturbs n. sp. are collected from walls and ceilings of caves and under bridges ( Fig. 1, 2). It is expected they group together in these sheltered spaces during day time to prevent desiccation and as a protection against direct sunlight. Many other Iberian Leiobunum species can be found at similar locations (unpublished personal observations). In the type locality small aggregations were recorded at the ceiling and the ...

Saws are elongated rostra with enlarged denticles that are used for hunting and feeding. They convergently evolved in three groups of sharks and rays, the extinct sawskates and the extant sawsharks and sawfishes. Saws and saw-bearing fishes are briefly reviewed here, including their anatomy, ecology, and phylogeny. The term 'pristification' is prop...

A new scorpion species, Vaejovis patagonia sp. nov. is described and placed in the “vorhiesi” group. This small, dark brown species is found near Patagonia, Arizona. It is geographically closest to V. troupi Ayrey & Soleglad, V. grahami Ayrey & Soleglad and V. vorhiesi Stahnke. Those three species are found in a triangle surrounding the Patagonia M...
Elasmobranchs are characterised by the presence of placoid scales on their skin. These scales, structurally homologous to gnathostome teeth, are thought to have various ecological functions related to drag reduction, predator defense or abrasion reduction. Some scales, particularly those present in the ventral area, are also thought to be functiona...
The Aenictuswroughtonii species group is widely distributed in Asia. The members of this group are characterised by a slender body, long legs, anterior clypeal margin with 5–10 denticles and a weakly-developed subpetiolar process. Twelve worker-based species of this group have been recorded from Asia. Herein, two new species from Thailand ( Aenictu...
