Juvenile 
Acanthoscurria chacoana, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia, freshly molted. This species lives in the so-called “Gran Chaco”, an area in South America that consists of dry forests and thorny savannahs. The species lives on the ground and digs its shelters under deadwood and large stones. Occasionally, however, they are also found in fallen Acuri palms (Attalea phalerata) (Bertani & Da Silva 2004). The following pics show the freshly molted juvenile female and her spermatheca, which shows the typical structure of this species, as well as the stridulation organ between the palpal trochanter (large club-shaped feathery hairs) and the complementary on the trochanter of leg 1 (large elongated spines), which is typical for the genus Acanthoscurria.
