Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the unique characteristics of Paraphrynus viridiceps, this amblypygid species from Cuba is notable for its medium size and flattened body. Unlike spiders, it has segmented abdomens and elongated, whip-shaped legs. Primarily nocturnal, these arachnids seek shelter under stones or tree bark, with some species inhabiting caves or coexisting with humans. They primarily feed on various arthropods, including insects and spiders. Recent studies have documented their presence in subway cavities in central Cuba, highlighting their ecological adaptability.
