  - Draculoides bramstokeri \*  
[

> [@](#):

> - Draculoides bramstokeri \*is a small, troglobite, Australian arachnid. Often mistaken for a spider, \* D. bramstokeri \*is a schizomid — a small, soil-dwelling invertebrate that walks on six legs and uses two modified front legs as feelers. It uses large fang-like pedipalps, or pincers, to grasp invertebrate prey and crunch it into pieces before sucking out the juices. Named for this method of dispatching victims and after Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.
