Bolas

Bolas or bolases (bola; from Spanish and Portuguese bola, "ball", also known as a boleadora or boleadeira) is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs.

See Exechocentrus and Bolas

Bolas spider

A bolas spider is a member of the orb-weaver spider (family Araneidae) that, instead of spinning a typical orb web, hunts by using one or more sticky "capture blobs" on the end of a silk line, known as a "bolas". Exechocentrus and bolas spider are Araneidae.

Cyrtarachninae

Cyrtarachninae is a subfamily of spiders in the family Araneidae (orb-weaver spiders, araneids). Exechocentrus and Cyrtarachninae are Araneidae.

Exechocentrus lancearius

Exechocentrus lancearius is a species of spider in the orb-weaver spider family Araneidae, found only in Madagascar. Exechocentrus and Exechocentrus lancearius are Araneidae, spiders of Madagascar and taxa named by Eugène Simon.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Exechocentrus and Genus

Madagascar

Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar and the Fourth Republic of Madagascar, is an island country comprising the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands.

Molecular phylogenetics

Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.

See Exechocentrus and Molecular phylogenetics

Orb-weaver spider

Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. Exechocentrus and Orb-weaver spider are Araneidae.
