Giant Vinegaroon
(Mastigoproctus giganteus)
by Jon Fouskaris

The Giant Vinegaroon is a species of whipscorpion that has a very unusual defense! It gets its' name from the vinegar (actual acidic acid) that it emits to scare away predators! As if that isn't strange enough, Giant Vinegaroons do not have stingers, they have long whip-like tails that do not sting at all. Sometimes people mistake them for insects because it looks like they have 6 legs and a pair of antennae, but actually, the "antennae" located in the front are just long, modified legs. All whipscorpions do not have venom, so Giant Vinegaroons are harmless when it comes to toxicity. They can be held, although handling any type of whipscorpion is not recommended. This creepy-looking arachnid is seldom seen in the wild due to its nocturnal nature. A note for any arachnid collectors out there, if you don't have a Giant Vinegaroon, your collection isn't complete. The Giant Vinegaroon is a truly fascinating arachnid that can be kept by beginners, intermediate keepers, or experienced hobbyists!

Range Southern and southwestern United States.
Type Burrowing.
Diet Babies eat pinhead crickets, and other small insects. Adults eat crickets, and other large insects.
Full Grown Size Up to 6 inches, including front legs and whip-tail.
Growth Medium speed.
Temperature 75 to 85° F.
Humidity 75 to 85%. Adults may drink from a shallow, wide water dish.
Temperament Docile and calm.
Housing Babies can live in a clear plastic deli-container with air holes. Adults can live in a 5 to 10-gallon tank. Floor space is more important than height.
Substrate 4 to 6 inches of peat moss, or potting soil. Fine gravel, or chopped-up walnut shells may be lightly mixed in with the substrate.
Decor Rocks, driftwood, cork bark, etc. make good hiding places.
Other Names Giant Vinegarone, Desert Whipscorpion, and Grampus.
*Please note that this species of whipscorpion can secrete vinegar that can be dangerous to some people. Although most people are not affected by this species, some people may be allergic to the acetic acid, or just more sensitive, making it a dangerous situation. This is one of the reasons that people should not handle this whipscorpion. Affects of this whipscorpions' natural defenses may vary between people. This whipscorpion should be considered dangerous, so be careful, because you don't want to find out if you are allergic or more sensitive the HARD WAY!

Thelyphonida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinegarroons

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Order: Thelyphonida
O. P-Cambridge, 1872
Families
Geralinuridae
Thelyphonidae
Diversity
c. 15 genera, > 100 species
Thelyphonida is an arachnid order comprising invertebrates commonly known as vinegaroons (or vinegarroons). They are often called uropygids in the scientific community after the former order Uropygi (which originally also included the order Schizomida). They are also known as whip scorpions because of their resemblance to true scorpions and because of their whiplike tails.


Physical description



Thelyphonus doriae hosei
The name "uropygid" means "tail rump", from Greek οὐροπύγιον (ouropugion),[1] from οὐρά (oura) "tail" and πυγή (puge) "rump" referring to the whip-like flagellum on the end of the pygidium, a small plate made up of the last three segments of the abdominal exoskeleton.
Vinegarroons range from 25 to 85 mm (0.98 to 3.3 in) in length, with most species not longer than 30 mm (1.2 in); the largest species, of the genus Mastigoproctus, reaching 85 mm (3.3 in).[2]
Like the related orders Schizomida, Amblypygi, and Solifugae, the vinegarroons use only six legs for walking, having modified their first two legs to serve as antennae-like sensory organs. Many species also have very large scorpion-like pedipalps (pincers). They have one pair of eyes at the front of the cephalothorax and three on each side of the head, a pattern also found in scorpions.[2] Vinegarroons have no venom glands, but they have glands near the rear of their abdomen that can spray a combination of acetic acid and octanoic acid when they are bothered.[2] The acetic acid gives this spray a vinegar-like smell, giving rise to the common name vinegarroon.
Vinegarroons are carnivorous, nocturnal hunters feeding mostly on insects and millipedes,[2] but sometimes on worms and slugs. Mastigoproctus sometimes preys on small vertebrates.[2] The prey is crushed between special teeth on the inside of the trochanters (the second segment of the "legs") of the front appendages. They are valuable in controlling the population of roaches and crickets.
Males secrete a sperm sac, which is transferred to the female. Up to 35 eggs are laid in a burrow, within a mucous membrane that preserves moisture. Mothers stay with the eggs and do not eat. The white young that hatch from the eggs climb onto their mother's back and attach themselves there with special suckers. After the first molt, they look like miniature vinegarroons, and leave the burrow; the mother dies soon after. The young grow slowly, going through three molts in about three years before reaching adulthood. They live for up to another four years.[2]

Habitat

Vinegarroons are found in tropical and subtropical areas excluding Europe, Australia, and, except for an introduced species, Africa.[2] They usually dig underground burrows with their pedipalps, to which they transport their prey.[2] They may also burrow under logs, rotting wood, rocks, and other natural debris. They prefer humid, dark places and avoid light. They also live in the Southern and Southwestern United States.

New whip scorpion
Telyphonoides panayensis gen. et sp. nov., Arachnida, Uropygi, Telyphonidae
Description: see Krehenwinkel, H., E. Curio, J. Tacud & J. Haupt (2009): On Telyphonoides panayensis gen. et sp. nov. (Arachnida: Uropygi: Telyphonidae), a new genus and a new species of whip scorpions from Panay Island (Philippines). Arthropoda Selecta 18: 139-143.

Telyphonoides panayensis, a new giant whip scorpion
The discovery of a spectacular new species of lowland whip scorpion (Telyphonoides panayensis, Arachnida, Uropygi, Telyphonidae) from Panay Island, the largest member of this group in the Philippines so far, is one of the latest of species descriptions by PanayCon / former PESCP. As detailed by Krehenwinkel, Curio, Tacud & Haupt (2009, Arthropoda Selecta 18: 139-143) the new whip scorpion represents even a new genus that is set aside by morphological characters from four species of Telyphonus in the country. There is only one other, yet small-sized species of whip scorpion (Glyptogluteus augustinus) of a different lineage known from Panay. Knowledge of the whip scorpions, a very ancient, circumtropical group of spiders, in the Philippines is still very incomplete..


eto naman po ung isa ^^

Sarax curioi sp. nov., Arachnida, order Amblypygi, family: Charinidae - a new species of tailless whip scorpion or whip spider.

A female whip spider carrying nine eggs, found by PanayCon staff on the forest floor near Malumpati, NW Panay Peninsula, Municipality of Pandan, turned out to be a new species, identified and described by Brazilian researchers, see reference below.
The new species is the second of the genus Sarax (familiy Charinidae) found in the Philippines, alongside with S. brachydactylus, a species with a wider distribution across the Philippines (on Palawan, Luzon and Cebu), in Malaysia and Cambodia. A third species of Philippine whip spider is Charon grayi, known from a number of places including Panay since long. These cryptic nocturnal species possess a pair of specialized thin legs ("whips") which serve as antennas and strong, inward-bent pedipalps (see Wikipedia) adapted to catching of live prey, resembling the forelegs of a praying mantis.

Charon grayi is a member of family Charontidae together with Stygophrynus. The identity of Charon is based on the number of spines on pedipalpal patella that mostly have two spines about equal in lenght. Other character is on the undivided pedipalpal tarsal.

Charon grayi itself is synonyms from 4 different species i.e. Charon hoeveni, Charon subterraneus, Charon beccarii and Charon papuanus the first three species are found and described from Indonesian Island such as Java and Ambon Island.

The Charon grayi firstly described by Gervais (1842) as Phrynus grayi from Philipines and all the other described species are synonimized by Kraepein (1899) and known only one species of Charon grayi.
