Euathlus
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Euathlus is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1875.[1] These spiders are medium sized and are usually found in high elevations in the Andes.[2] It is a senior synonym of Paraphysa,[3] and was formerly considered a senior synonym of Brachypelma,[4] but this was later rejected.[5]
Diagnosis
Males own a palpal bulb with two prolateral keels, with the tip curved retrolaterally. The tibial apophyses has retrolateral spines and a spine on the retrolateral branch which almost reached the apex. And a urticating patch in the center of the opisthosoma, which own mainly type 3 and 4 urticating hairs. Females also can be distinguished by two 4 sided spermathecal receptacles, with sphere like chambers.[2]
