N.B.: for the authorship (Walckenaer, 1805 vs. Thorell, 1870) see Sherwood et al., 2021: 396, Breitling, 2021b published a different opinion; the type species was fixed by Thorell, 1870b, who accepted Walckenaer's authorship; also Schinz, 1823: 115 used the name Theraphosa (unclear if as new or using Walckenaer's name); the mentionings of Teraphosa [sic] by Eichwald, 1830: 73 and Gistel, 1848: 156 belong to Avicularia Lamarck, 1818 (Breitling, 2021b: 30, 31); superfluous replacement name Theraphosia Dahl, 1901d: 52 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:05212]; considered a senior synonym of Pseudotheraphosa Tinter, 1991: 6 [urn:lsid:nmbe.ch:spidergen:04827] (type P. apophysis Tinter, 1991) by Bertani, 2001: 316.
