Merge Theridiidae date May 2008 Tangle web spider Theridiid s are probably the only Family biology family with a large diversity of spider web forms there is a high within taxon diversity e.g. in Latrodectus , as well as convergence in different taxa. Theridiid gumfoot webs consist of frame lines that anchor them to surroundings and of support threads, which possess viscid silk. Four main web types are currently recognized among webs with gumfooted lines, there are webs with a central retreat Achaearanea type and those with a peripheral retreat Latrodectus type . Among webs without gumfooted lines, there are those that contain viscid silk Theridion type and those with a sheet like structure, which do not contain visible viscid silk Coleosoma type . However, there are many undescribed web forms. Building of gumfooted lines constitutes a unique stereotyped behaviour and is most probably homologous for Theridiidae and its sister family Nesticidae. Webs remain in place for extended periods and are expanded and repaired, but no regular pattern of web replacement has been observed. References Benjamin S. P. & Zschokke S. 2002.

It is present about convert 2 cm behind the anterior end of the body around 14th, 15th and 16th segments . A clitellum is part of the reproductive system of clitellates, a subgroup of annelids which contains oligochaetes earthworms and hirudineans leeches . The clitellum is a thick, saddle like, ring found in the epidermis skin of the worm, usually with a light colored pigment. To form a cocoon for its eggs, the clitellum secretes a viscous fluid. This organ is used in sexual reproduction of some annelids. The clitellum becomes apparent in mature annelids but may be hard to locate visually in younger annelids. In leeches, it appears seasonally. Its color is usually slightly lighter than that of the body of the annelid. Occasionally, living segments of the worm will be shed with the clitellum.

It is similar to the related Suillus luteus S. luteus , but can be distinguished by its ringless stalk. Like S. luteus , it is an edible mushroom that often grows in a symbiosis Mycorrhiza with pine . It has been commonly known as the Weeping Bolete , or the Granulated Bolete . Taxonomy Suillus is an ancient term for fungi, and is derived from the word swine .

Bres. small Copelandia is a genus of mushrooms consisting of at least 12 species. ref Rolf Singer ref Most Copelandia species have a long, thin fragile stem and are delicate, growing in grassland s on dead moss , dead grass, sand dunes, decayed wood, and Feces dung . They are found in the tropics and neotropics of both hemispheres. The Copelandia genus is a subgenus of Panaeolus created by Abb Giacomo Bresadola 1847 1929 in honor of Edwin Bingham Copeland 1873 1964 , an American who gathered fungi in the Philippines and sent some collections to Bresadola . Many American mycologist s place members of Panaeolus which stain blue into Copelandia , but many European mycologists use the genus Panaeolus instead. At the moment the species names of both genera are synonym s. Members of Copelandia are white to gray or tan, and the cap and stem stains blue due to the psilocin content. The cap is never viscid and often develops a cracked appearance as it dries out. None of the mushrooms in Copelandia have a partial veil and the gills always have thick walled wikt pseudocystidia pseudocystidia , often with crystals at the ends. wikt Chrysocystidia Chrysocystidia are never present.
