So after getting tired of looking for names of tarantulas in list that are hard to read I compiled a new list that is straight forward Genus and Species of all the tarantulas and where they are from. Let me know if anyone sees mistakes or has anything to add. I will be working on adding care to each by clicking on name and pictures for all the ones I have pictures for. It took a ton of time just making the list ;)

Agreed.

Very interesting... There's a lot of species I've never heard about. For example, I didn't know there's been any other Citharischius than crawshayi.

Thanks :) I thought you had a list was why I was confused. Yah that is a great sticky and would be honored to be part of it!

Aw, you're swell. :)

I already added it, so hopefully from this thread and from the sticky, your site will see tons more traffic.

I'm bookmarking the links myself; they're great info to have handy!

Well, I noted three recent changes/newly described species that are missing.

  • Grammostola borelli (transferred from Avicularia)
  • Grammostola pulchripes (senior synonym of G. aureostriata)
  • Oligoxystre diamantinensis (newly described species, paper recently published by Bertani et al.)

Note that these cannot be found in The World Spider Catalog yet (last update was before the publication of these works), but they are valid works.

  • Gabriel, R. 2009. Changes to the nomenclature of some Grammostola species (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Exotiske Insekter no. 73. 7-13
  • Bertani, R., Santos, T. dos, Righi, A.F. 2009 A new species of Oligoxystre Vellard 1924 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Brazil. ZooKeys 5: 41-51

Hey Ken, congrats man, AMAZING job! Bookmarked already. Just one thing though: The spider in the picture is a Avicularia fasciculata, a wild specimen found in Bahia, Brazil. How do I know? I Live in Brazil and the person with the spider in the photo is a friend of mine. These little guys just keep getting into his house, lot os them, specially MM.

I noticed that you didn´t include this species as a brazilian species in the list. Not that "South America" is incorrect, but, hey, they are from Brazil, lol.

Just thought it would help. Thanks again for the great work! Too bad I live over here and can´t buy anything from you.

Later,
Dan

Wow, neat list! I'd love to see what each species looks like. Imagine how many still haven't been discovered. Kinda cool that Aphonopelma has the most representatives
