Spiders

ARANEAE

Spiders have abdominal silk organs, male pedipalps modified into sperm transfer organs, and venom delivered through the chelicerae (secondarily lost in some spiders). Adult body size ranges from less than 1 to 100 mm. They are diverse and abundant worldwide with more than 49,000 described species.

Whip Spiders

AMBLYPYGI

Amblypygi are a nocturnal group of arachnids, commonly called whip spiders or tailless whip scorpions (not to be confused with spiders in the order Araneae or whip scorpions, also called vinegaroons, that belong to the related order Thelyphonida). The name "amblypygid" means "blunt tail", a reference to a lack of the flagellum that is otherwise seen in whip scorpions.

Harvestmen

OPILIONES

The Opiliones (formerly Phalangida) are an order of arachnids colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, or daddy longlegs. According to the most updated count, over 6,660 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the total number of extant species may exceed 10,000.

Pseudoscorpions

PSEUDOSCORPIONES

Pseudoscorpions, occasionally known as false scorpions or book scorpions, are arachnids belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones, sometimes known as Pseudoscorpionida or Chelonethida. Pseudoscorpions occur in all terrestrial environments from the seashore to the world’s highest peaks. They are generally rather small, with the largest reaching a body length of 1 cm.

THE AMERICAN ARACHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY The purpose of the American Arachnological Society is to further the study of Arachnids, foster closer cooperation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists, and to publish the Journal of Arachnology. It accomplishes this purpose in three main

ways:

MEETINGS

The society hosts an annual meeting for professional and amateur arachnologists and students interested in arachnology to share

research and ideas.

SUPPORTING GRADUATE STUDIES The society promotes undergraduate and graduate studies in arachnology by providing grants for travel to meetings and research, by recognition of high quality student presentations and posters at the annual meetings, and by providing information on graduate study opportunities in the field of arachnology.

PUBLICATIONS

The society publishes a refereed research journal, the Journal of Arachnology, three times a year. It also publishes the Spiders of North America-An Identification Manual, and has provided support for the publication of Common Spiders of North America. -------------------------
