Cebrennus rechenbergi
''Cebrennus rechenbergi'', also known as the Moroccan flic-flac spider, is a species of huntsman spider indigenous to Morocco. It inhabits the sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi desert where if provoked or threatened it can escape by doubling its normal walking speed using forward or backward flips similar to acrobatic flic-flac movements used by gymnasts.〔 ''C. rechenbergi'' is the only spider known to use this unique form of rolling locomotion. The discovery of the Moroccan flic-flac spider has influenced biomimetic robot research, resulting in the development of an experimental robot based on the spider's motion.〔〔King, R.S. (2013).

==Etymology==
The spider is named after its discoverer, Ingo Rechenberg, bionics professor at the Technische Universität Berlin. Rechenberg may have first encountered the spider on a trip to Morocco as early as 2006, but it was not until 2008 that he collected the first specimen.〔Im Gespräch: Ingo Rechenberg über eine neu entdeckte Art Rollende Spinnen für den Mars. ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'', p. 7. January 10, 2009.〕〔 It was initially confused with the Tunisian spider ''Cebrennus villosus'', but later identified as a separate species by Peter Jäger of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum.〔〔 After observing small variations in the genitalia of the two species and noticing the distinctive flic-flac motion of the spider, Jäger confirmed its status as a new species.〔〔 The holotype is dated 15 July 2009.〔Jäger, Peter (April 2014).
