A spider bearing an "uncanny" resemblance to the sorting hat in the Harry Potter series has been discovered by scientists in India.

　　科学家在印度发现了一种新型蜘蛛，与哈利波特系列中的分院帽具有“惊人”的相似之处。

　　The Eriovixia gryffindori, measuring just 7mm in length, closely resembles the magical artefact in the series.

　　The spider takes its name from Godric Gryffindor, the fictional owner of the hat. It was discovered in the mountainous Western Ghats region of south-western India.

　　蜘蛛的名字来源于小说中这个帽子的主人Godric Gryffindor。蜘蛛是在印度西南部的西高止山脉地区被发现。

　　"We were searching the area when we bumped into the spider," Javed Ahmed, one of three researchers who made the discovery, told the BBC. "When we found it we decided that we were going to name it after the sorting hat".

　　“我们正在搜索该区域时，突然发现了这种蜘蛛，”发现了该蜘蛛的三位研究人员之一Javed Ahmed告诉英国广播公司。“我们发现它时，就决定要以分院帽命名”。

　　The spider mimics dried foliage in order to hide from its predators. The find did not go unnoticed by JK Rowling, the author of the wizarding books.

　　蜘蛛外形类似枯叶，可以躲避其捕食者。这个发现并没有被巫师书的作者JK Rowling忽视。

　　"(Ms Rowling) is absolutely thrilled. She said she was honoured and congratulated us," said Mr Ahmed.

　　“(Rowling女士)非常激动。她说她很荣幸，并祝贺我们，” Ahmed先生说。

　　"How many science geeks and nerds get to name a species after their favourite character and actually get congratulated by the author?", he said.

　　“有多少科学狂人和书呆子可以用他们喜欢的角色命名一个物种，并得到作者的祝贺?”他说。
