Biology:Amfractus
From HandWiki
Amfractus is a monotypic genus of spiders in the family Linyphiidae containing the single species, Amfractus dentefaber.[1]
Distribution
Amfractus dentefaber has only been recorded from Yunnan province in China.[1][2]
Life style
The species was found in the forest of the mountains of Longling County at 2010 m.[2]
Etymology
The genus name is a variation of Latin anfractus "winding", referring to the spiral embolus in the male palp.[2] The specific name is from Latin dentefaber "spike", referring to the cephalic region with spike-like long thick macrosetae in the male.[2] The authors of the original description used "dentefaberis" as the epitheton, but corrected it to "dentefaber" in a subsequent publication.[1]
