Scientists Find 8 New Species of Spider with Whiplike Legs

Scientists recently described eight new species of this long-legged spider that are native to Brazil, nearly doubling the number of known species in the genus Charinus. Thanks to the new species discoveries, Brazil now boasts the greatest diversity of whip spiders in the world.
