Hylyphantes

Hylyphantes is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1884.[3] It is distinct from related genera by a pair of spiral copulatory ducts in the female, which are matched by a turbinated embolus in the male.[4] Both sexes are similar in appearance; the male has no modifications.[4]

gollark: Tatter?
gollark: ... hmm, in that case, maybe something *contrasting* with the teal (and with a different offfsite use policy) would be better.
gollark: Also, I'd prefer if the *background* were teal and the text white or something - see the actual site.
gollark: Eeeh. The chrono there kind of makes the writing annoying to read.
gollark: Well, in that case, we shall need to either delay the logos until birdz can be reached (if they agree, obviously) or take out the chrono.
