Still Waters Posted December 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Frida Kahlo, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hercules—they are all among the namesakes of the new pseudoscorpions recently described in the Arachnology Department at the Museum der Natur Hamburg. The prominent names suit the little animals because they are reflected in their physique: They have comparatively massive "arms," the so-called pedipalps, which visually set them apart from most of their relatives. The species named after the Mexican artist is characterized by a particularly dense "fur" over the eye area. https://phys.org/news/2022-12-big-muscles-wrinkled-skin-hercules.html https://arthropod-systematics.arphahub.com/article/90570/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
