Un estudio liderado por el CSIC describe una segunda especie de solífugo para la Península, Gluvia brunnea, 200 años después del descubrimiento de Gluvia dorsalis Solífugo o araña camello. / Eva de Mas Un estudio elaborado por la Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas (EEZA-CSIC), del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), en colaboración con la Universidad de Almería (UAL) ha descrito una nueva especie de arácnido en la península ibérica: Gluvia brunnea sp. nov. Hasta el momento, solo se ha observado en el sureste de España. Este hallazgo, publicado en la revista Insects, supone la descripción de la segunda especie de araña camello en la Península en 200 años. “La descripción morfológica está respaldada por análisis moleculares y estadísticos, que apoyan de manera incuestionable el status específico de este nuevo taxón”, señala Cristian Pertegal, investigador de la EEZA y primer autor del estudio. “Fue impresionante ver como un análisis molecular relativamente sencillo apuntaba perfectamente a que se trataba de una nueva especie.”, afirma Eva de Mas, coautora del estudio. El interés científico por estos arácnidos ha crecido en los últimos años. Su taxonomía y sistemática siempre ha planteado un reto a la comunidad científica, particularmente debido a la falta de consenso entre los especialistas sobre cuáles son los caracteres morfológicos relevantes de este grupo. Actualmente, según el Catálogo Mundial de Solifugae, hay 15 familias, 144 géneros y 1.209 especies. En el caso de la península ibérica, hasta ahora solo se conocía una única especie endémica: Gluvia dorsalis. “Los ejemplares de la nueva especie se compararon con ejemplares de la única especie conocida, G. dorsalis, originarios de otras localidades de clima mediterráneo en la península ibérica”, explica Jordi Moya, científico del CSIC en la EEZA e investigador principal del proyecto que ha desarrollado el estudio. Los especímenes analizados de la nueva especie provienen de diferentes métodos de muestreo, como capturas directas o trampas de caída, usados en tres estudios diferentes: uno sobre el efecto de los arbustos como refugios de fauna, otro sobre el efecto de los incendios y otros sobre la diversidad faunística de los intersticios del suelo en canchales. “Ha sido una suerte encontrar tantísimos ejemplares de Gluvia brunnea en la colección del Centro de Investigación de Colecciones Científicas de la Universidad de Almería (CECOUAL) procedentes de proyectos anteriores”, afirma Pablo Barranco, coautor del trabajo y profesor titular de la UAL. Este estudio se enmarca en el proyecto Los efectos de derrame de los depredadores desde las islas de recursos a los ecosistemas, financiado por la Agencia Española de Investigación.

@babykikorin submitted: Hey! I'm so happy submissions are open again, I really love your blog!! I learn a lot

Just wanted to submit this??? spider maybe??? that tried getting in my friends leg a couple weeks ago, my mom got a picture of it last weekend before it dissapeared again. we are just very curious on what this is, my mom says spider but I'm not sure if spiders have 10 legs and that shape.

This bug was found in Castilla la Mancha in Spain (kinda in the middle of the península) and it's bigger than a thumb I'd say. If you find anything about this bug I'd be great to hear ^^

Hi! Thank you, I'm glad you're learning some new things about bugs! I am always learning, too. This fellow is an arachnid, but not a spider. It's a solifuge, sometimes called camel spiders or wind scorpions, which are misnomers, since they are neither spiders nor scorpions. Common names are funny like that. This one in particular I think is a European solifugid, Gluvia dorsalis.

They actually only have eight legs - the extra pair at the front-most part of the body are pedipalps, which in solifuges are used as sensory organs and for locomotion. :)

Camel Spider!

Camel Spiders are neither camels or spiders. They also have the nickname wind scorpions despite also not being wind or scorpions 

They are part of the order Solifugae which contains over 1000 species in about 153 genera 

They are not venomous and are completely harmless to humans other than their pretty painful bite

If you have read this far why not follow us @animalfacthub for daily animal facts and pics!

Giant Solifuge

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Subphylum: Chelicerata

Class: Arachnida

Order: Solifugae

Gamily: Xenoarachnidae

Genus: Xenoarachne

Species: X. gorgognathus (”dreadful-jawed strange spider”)

Ancestral species: Gluvia dorsalis (Camel spider species)

Time period: early to mid Solocene (105 million years to 125 million years in the future).

Information: since the level of oxygen in the air during the Solocene is much higher than that of our time period, arthropods can get much larger. And in the case of the Giant Solifuge, they get to the size of minivans. Living in the lowlands of eastern Thalassia, Giant Solifuges are predators to be reckoned with. Their fast speed along with their large mandibles makes them a danger to many land animals, and Giant Solifuges will predate on most, if not any, large land animal they come across. They tend to live in and around caves, and their exoskeletons are black in color. It is one of the largest, perhaps even the largest, land predator in Thalassia.
