Tarantula species in Brazil

[Pasteo]

Hi,

maybe someone know how many tarantula species are in Brazil?

Is there a list of tarantulas per country?

Thanks

I don't think that such a thing exist, but if exist, wouldn't be complete.

Reason = there's an unfinished number of Theraphosidae species that we doesn't know (think about certain African nations etc).

There are 199 species of tarantulas officially described in Brazil. Although there is no listing of tarantula species by all countries that I am aware of, I can provide a list of all described tarantula species and what country they occur in. Or if you have a specific country in mind, I can provide that listing too.

I'd like that data, if you would be so kind. When you say described, are you referring to T's that are formally described (ex Poecilotheria rufilata) or does it include informally described species as well (ex Phormingochilus sp Sabah Blue)?

Thanks,

If you're curious about the described tarantula species in Brazil (or any country) you can search for the county name on this page:

I know this is older but can I get this list as well?

Thanks for sending the list to YoshiDavid. The primary reason I never made the list available on this site for everyone to download is because I was, and still not, sure if it violates copyright rules of this site and/or of the World Spider Catalog. The data itself came from the World Spider Catalog, but I put the data in my own relational database so I could query it using SQL. Since the source of the data was the World Spider Catalog, but formatted differently, I'm not sure if I would be violating any copyright rules or laws by making species lists available to the general internet public. I would rather play it safe and not do so.

I think we're good from the WSC perspective. They offer a .csv download with the same information under a Creative Commons license (we just need to list the WSC as the source and link the license). I'm guessing you used the API to pull to your table? Or did you use the .csv or scrape it yourself? Unfortunately, I can't answer from AB's perspective. @Arachnopets, any insight?

I will look into the matter outside of a public discussion forum. If you want technical details where I got the data, and how I setup my database, feel free to PM me.
