“…Cladistic analysis was based on the previous matrix of Theraphosinae genera used by Pérez-Miles et al 1996 and Pérez-Miles 2000 with some modifications. This matrix was completed as far as possible, including material examined and literature, complemented with the new evidences of the palpal bulb homology proposed by Bertani (2000, 2001), and the characters used on the matrix of Perafán and Pérez-Miles (2014). The original matrix from Pérez-Miles et al 1996 was modified on characters referred to palpal bulb keels (characters 3 and 4) and replaced with those proposed by Bertani (2000, 2001), Perafán and Pérez-Miles (2014).…”

A new monotypic Theraphosidae genus, Kankuamo Perafán, Galvis & Pérez-Miles, gen. n., is described from Colombia, with a new type of urticating setae. These setae differ from others principally by having a small distal oval patch of lanceolate reversed barbs. Males of Kankuamo gen. n. additionally differ by having a palpal bulb organ very divergent from all known species, with many conspicuous keels dispersed across the median tegulum to the tip, mostly with serrated edges. Females differ by having spermathecae with a single notched receptacle, with two granulated lobes and several irregular sclerotized longitudinal striations. The new urticating setae, type VII, is characterized, illustrated and its releasing mechanism is discussed. It is hypothesized that these setae are the first in Theraphosinae subfamily whose release mechanism is by direct contact. Kankuamo gen. n. is described and illustrated on the basis of the type species Kankuamo marquezi Perafán, Galvis & Gutiérrez, sp. n., and their remarkable characteristics, morphological affinities and cladistic relationship are analyzed.

“…These authors extended the records of Bumba horrida from its type locality in Amazonas Federal Territory, Venezuela to the states of Amazonas and Roraima, Brazil. Recently, Perafán and Pérez-Miles (2014) transferred Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi (Schmidt, 1991) to Maraca including Ecuador in the distribution of the genus.…”

We propose the name Bumba as a new name for Maraca, preoccupied by Maraca Hebard, 1926 (Orthoptera). We describe and illustrate Bumba lennoni, a new theraphosid species from Caxiuanã, Pará, Brazil. This species differs from the other species of the genus in the extremely reduced keel on male palpal organ and in the higher number of labial and maxillary cuspules. Females additionally differ in the spermathecal morphology. As a consequence of the name replacement, three new combinations are established.

“…Recently, based on a phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters of specimens from Chile, the species composition of Euathlus, Paraphysa and Phrixotrichus was revised by Perafán & Pérez-Miles (2014). As a consequence, authors revalidate the genus Phrixotrichus, as well as a new composition of species that now includes: Phrixotrichus jara Perafán & Pérez-Miles, 2014;Phrixotrichus scrofa (Molina, 1788) and Phrixotrichus vulpinus (Karsch, 1880).…”

Consequently, the genus Phrixotrichus is diagnosed by the presence of urticating setae Type IV gathered on two lateral patches; male is characterized by the palpal bulb morphology with two subequal prolateral keels and the tip directed retrolaterally, tibial apophysis with only one apical spine on retrolateral branch and absence of basal spine on prolateral branch; female is distinguished by the presence of two spermathecal receptacles with a lateral spheroid chamber.…”

ABSTRACT.A new species of Phrixotrichus Simon, 1889, P. pucara sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on a male from Pucará river, Neuquén province, Argentina. Male can be distinguished from all other species of the genus by the presence of a long strong spine on inner face of prolateral branch of tibial apophysis; also, it differs from P. scrofa (Molina, 1788) and P. vulpinus (Karsch, 1880) by a serrated prolateral keel of the male palpal bulb. Male resembles P. jara Perafán & Pérez-Miles, 2014 but can be distinguished by the uniform color on dorsal cephalothorax and by the palpal organ morphology being wider on the bulb base and embolus shorter and thicker, with the tip of embolus not so directed retrolaterally and prolateral keel bearing a serrated edge with three teeth. Additionally, P. vulpinus is reported for the first time for Argentina along with new distributional data.KEYWORDS. Taxonomy, spiders, tarantula, Theraphosinae.RESUMEN. Una nueva especie de Phrixotrichus (Araneae, Theraphosidae) del sudoeste de Argentina y nuevos datos de distribución para P. vulpinus. Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie de Phrixotrichus Simon, 1889, P. pucara sp. nov., basada en un macho del río Pucará, provincia de Neuquén, Argentina. El macho se distingue de las especies restantes del género por la presencia de una espina larga y fuerte en la cara interna de la rama prolateral de la apófisis tibial; además, difiere de P. scrofa (Molina, 1788) y P. vulpinus (Karsch, 1880) por una quilla prolateral aserrada en el bulbo del macho. El macho recuerda a P. jara Perafán & Pérez-Miles, 2014 pero se distingue por el color uniforme en el dorso del caparazón y por la morfología del órgano palpar siendo la base del bulbo más ancha y el émbolo más corto y grueso, con el extremo del émbolo dirigido no tan retrolateralmente y la quilla prolateral lleva un borde aserrado con tres dientes. Adicionalmente, se reporta por primera vez para Argentina la presencia de P. vulpinus junto con nuevos datos en su distribución.
