List of new worlds which do not possess urticating hairs

[Iamconstantlyhappy]

With the input of the experienced members on this site, could this thread be used to compile a list of new worlds which do not possess urticating hairs?

I will add to this list as the esteemed members add them



Neoholothele
Psalmopoeus
tapinauchenius
Pseudoclamoris
D diamantinensis








......

Irminia...well, its the whole genus actually......Tappies don't have them either.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Pseudoclamoris

 

[Konstantin Konstantinov]

D diamantinensis

 

[Iamconstantlyhappy]

D diamantinensis

Is it just this species, or the entire genus?

If I’m not mistaken all of Psalmopoeinae is absent and is part of the keying out of subfamily. Psalmopoeus, Tapinauchineus, Pseudoclamoris, So I would take it Ephobopus is likely absent as well, I’m pretty sure it’s still in that subfamily.

I'm pretty sure i've read that ephobopus have urticating hairs on their pedipalps that they flick/rub off

Not true, look up Rick West’s paper describing this unique genus.

You have a link? I don’t know that I e read it ?

Thank you, that’s why I didn’t make a statement only a supposition! Thank you I did not know, but now I do! Learn something new everyday!

What about a bald T.blondi?

Nope, read it years ago

Google here I come!

Hi
Im not sure in regards of the whole genus as I keep only D diamantinensis but I imagine if one of the species in the genus is lacking the hairs they will all do.
Regards Konstantin

Holothele
Ischnocolinae sp. "Dominican Republic" (Hobby Holothele sericea/Scopelobates sericeus)

EDIT: I'm sure there is a similar thread lurking about but I can't really be bothered to run a search.

They are in the Psalmopoeinae subfamily but they have urticating hairs located on their pedipalps.

Entire genus as far as I'm aware (I know rufoniger and exilis don't have them).

Thank you I had no idea!! But find that really cool!

Dolichothele
Neoholothele
Psalmopoeus
tapinauchenius
Pseudoclamoris

There are 107 species of New World tarantula that do not have urticatious setae. For obvious reasons I won't copy and paste the whole list in this thread so I attached it to this post in TXT format so anyone can import into a spreadsheet program to browse at their leisure. You might need to change the file extension from .txt to .csv to import correctly. It contains the species, subfamily they belong to, and the country(ies) they occur in. The list does not include hobby identified species; only species known to science. That means no "sp. something or other". Have fun!

This is really great. Maybe it should be a "sticky". It would be really useful for those picking up a new t. A new world lacking urticating setae is a great thing. If someone has the husbandry down, they would "only" have to deal with speed and defensiveness. A bite wouldn't be the end of the world, unless allergic, but I would imagine that comes with any bite.
