Two further cases of morphological anomaly in theraphosid spiders (Araneae: Theraphosidae)
Abstract
Two further cases of morphological anomaly in theraphosid spiders (Theraphosidae Thorell, 1869) are reported. A subadult female of Aphonopelma seemanni (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897) presents an anomalous outgrowth between coxae IV and the margin of the sternum. An adult male of Phormictopus sp. has a small, regenerated, right-hand palp, with a heavily deformed palpal bulb.
