The identity of Heterothele caudicula (Araneae: Theraphosidae) from Argentina

Abstract


In this contribution, Heterothele caudicula Simon, 1886 (Theraphosidae) is transferred to the genus Thalerommata Ausserer, 1875. Thalerommata caudicula new combination is based on the examination of the type that is characterized by flattened iridescent setae covering the abdomen, a synapomorphy of this
genus. Thus, this is the ninth species of the genus known and Heterothele caudicula is removed from the Argentinean theraphosid fauna.
