Euathlus affinis is a species of spider belonging to the family Theraphosidae (tarantulas). It is native to Chile.[1]
Taxonomy
The species was first described in 1849 as Mygale affinis. However, Mygale had been used previously for a genus of mammals, and the correct name for the genus is Avicularia,[2] making this species Avicularia affinis. It was subsequently transferred to Brachypelma in 1936 and then to Euathlus in 2017.[1]
