“…Consequently, the paraembolic apophysis of Jambu seems not to be a homologous feature in Hapalopini. As suggested by Pérez-Miles & Perafán (2020), a new analysis of the palpal bulb homology seems to be necessary, mainly considering that after the first proposal of Bertani (2000) many theraphosid genera have been described.…”

The genus Jambu gen. nov. is proposed based on two new species: Jambu paru gen. et sp. nov. and Jambu manoa gen. et sp. nov. Hapalopus butantan is transferred to Jambu; consequently, Jambu butantan gen. et comb. nov. is proposed. The geographic distribution of J. butantan is extended on the basis of new material collected. The new genus and the new species are here diagnosed, described and illustrated. The shape of the genitalia of Jambu resembles that of Hapalopini but differs from most of them by the presence of type IV urticating setae. The presence of this type of urticating setae allows us to hypothesize that this new genus is phylogenetically related with Grammostolini. Males of Jambu differ from those of other genera of Grammostolini by the presence of a paraembolic apophysis on the palpal bulb. Females also differ from those of other Grammostolini by the spermathecae morphology, with one medial lamp-shaped or heart-shaped receptacle. The homology of some features and the taxonomic placement of the new genus are discussed.

“…The subfamily Theraphosinae is endemic to the Neotropics and is one of twelve currently included in Theraphosidae Thorell, 1896, the family that includes tarantulas (Guadanucci, 2014;Lüddecke et al, 2018;Turner et al, 2018;Foley et al, 2019). Theraphosinae comprises the greatest diversity within the family, currently including 69 genera and more than 500 species (World Spider Catalog, 2023), distributed mainly in the Neotropics (Central America, South America, southern Mexico, and the Caribbean), as well as in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico temperate regions (Hamilton et al, 2016b;Mendoza and Francke, 2017;Pérez-Miles and Perafán, 2020).…”

Phylogenomics of Lasiodoriforms: reclassification of the South American genus Vitalius Lucas, Silva and Bertani and allied genera (Araneae: Theraphosidae)

et al. 2023

Theraphosinae is the most diverse subfamily of Theraphosidae spiders, but their evolutionary history remains unresolved to date. This problem is common in taxonomic groups with phylogenetic hypotheses that have often been based only on qualitative morphological characters and, rarely, on molecular analyses. Phylogenomics has significantly contributed to the understanding of the evolution of many non-model groups, such as spiders. Herein, we employed ultraconserved elements (UCEs) phylogenomics to propose a new hypothesis for a group of Theraphosinae genera, namely Lasiodoriforms: Vitalius, Lasiodora, Eupalaestrus, Pterinopelma, Proshapalopus, and Nhandu. We propose three genera and their respective morphological diagnoses are provided. Our phylogeny supports the transfer of species from the genus Vitalius to Pterinopelma and Proshapalopus and from Proshapalopus to Eupalaestrus. Finally, we describe a new species of Vitalius from Southern Brazil. Based on these three new generic descriptions and transferred species, the Lasiodoriform tarantulas comprise nine genera from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and the genus Vitalius now includes seven species.
