My Tarantula Bibliography has been updated. At present the family Theraphosidae is comprised of 961 species in 127 genera.
Major changes include: New species Psalmopoeus victori and new genus Bumba and species Bumba lennoni.
New additions are Psalmopoeus victori from Veracruz, Mexico and the genus change from Maraca to Bumba. Maraca was created 8 years ago because Iracema was preoccupied, and now Maraca has been changed because it was preoccupied by a genus of Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets). So, Maraca becomes Bumba and those of you who have just gotten used to the transfer that made your Euathlus pulcherimmaklaasi become Maraca pulcherimmaklaasi can once again relabel as Bumba pulcherimmaklaasi. These taxonomical studies sponsored by Dymo label makers.
