The Dionycha are a phylogenetic group of spiders (Araneomorphae:Entelegynae) with about 10,000 species. 17 families belong to this group, amongst others: Salticidae (jumping spiders), Gnaphosoidea, Thomisidae (crab spiders), and the Clubionidae. Spiders in this group have better senses (sight, hearing) than others, some even show courtship dances and songs. The Dionycha probably evolved from the web-building Trionycha. Unlike these, the Dionycha have only two instead of three tarsal claws. The central third claw of the Trionycha is responsible for tracking the silk thread. Instead of this claw, Dionycha have dense tufts of scupula hairs that produce strong adhesion, enabling some species to climb glass. Most species hunt their prey instead of building webs, although some species of Trionycha (members of Lycosoidea) also hunt. There are no cribellate members in the Dionycha.〔Griswold ''et al.'' 1999〕 The monophyly of the Dionycha has been disputed. Today it is thought that the reduction of the third claw evolved several times independently. ==Cladogram (after Coddington & Levi, 1991, simplified) == |2= }} |2=Thomisidae, > 2,000 species |3=Philodromidae |4=Sparassidae |5=Selenopidae |6=Zoridae }} }} }} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dionycha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
