Hello Kenneth,
BTW, I was told the species in this article is not Xenesthis immanis but probably a Pamphobeteus species.

Hello Kenneth,
nope, not the first. See e.g. this article:KennethM said:King Baboons have also been reported to communally raise/co-habitate with spiderlings in the mother's burrows. Hysterocrates also have. Both Old World spiders so this is a first for new world spiders.
- COCROFT, R. B. & K. HAMBLER (1989): Observations on a commensal relationship of the microhylid frog Chismocleis ventrimaculata and the burrowing theraphosid spider Xenestis immanis in southeastern Peru. Biotropica 21(1): 2-8.
