Pics of my two Dipluridae sp. Bolivia. They are tarantulas, but Dipluridae, not Theraphosidae :

The spiders in Theraphosidae are tarantulas/bird-spiders and any other family isnt.. that makes your dipluridae sp. non tarantulas.

I would just call them ...mygales, oui ?
And let's not even get into tarantella/wolf spiders vs "Tarantula" ;)
