Family: Theraphosidae Thorell, 1869 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spiderfam:0010] Back
Gen.
Sericopelma Ausserer, 1875 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:00281 ]
N.B.: removed from the synonymy of Mygalarachne Ausserer, 1871 (considered instead a nomen dubium) by Lucas et al., 1991: 229, contra Raven, 1985a: 153, who also considered that name a senior synonym of Harpaxictis Simon, 1892a: 144 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05113] (see also Gabriel & Longhorn, 2011: 163) and Nhandu Lucas, 1983, but that latter synonymy has not been accepted by later workers; Harpaxictis is a replacement name for Harpaxibius Ausserer, 1871a: 195 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05112] (type H. striatus Ausserer, 1871), preoccupied in Hymenoptera by Billberg, 1820.
