Description of Neoholothele gen. nov. (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Schismatothelinae)

Hi zusammen

Weil es grad so schön ist, nochmal ne Änderung für uns Hobbyhalter
José Paulo Leite Guadanucci und Dirk Weinmann haben eine neue Gattung und eine neue Art in der Unterfamilie Schismatothelinae beschrieben. Es ergeben sich folgende Änderungen

• Aus Holothele incei wird Neoholothele incei (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1898)
• Die Tiere, die wir im Hobby unter dem Namen Holothele sp. Kolumbien "bumblebee" kennen heissen nun N. fasciaaurinigra Guadanucci & Weinmann, 2015

!Wichtig!

• Alle anderen Arten der Gattung Holothele bleiben weiterhin Holothele spp.

Abstract

Zitat

The new genus Neoholothele is herein described based on the results of a recent phylogenetic analysis. This phylogeny, which included representatives of all Theraphosidae subfamilies, showed that the genus Holothele, as hitherto defined, does not comprise a monophyletic group. Neoholothele gen. nov. is diagnosed by the following features: males and females with dark carapace and golden cephalic region; females with striped color pattern on the abdomen dorsum and long and slender spermathecae receptacula; males with retrolateral branch of male tibial spur with apical end wider than proximal end (synapomorphy), with two apical spines. It comprises two species: N. incei (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1898) comb. nov. and N. fasciaaurinigra sp. nov., both from northern South America.
