  • new species: Cyriocosmus pribiki sp. nov. & C. rogerioi sp. nov.

    Hi,

    something for the fans of the genus Cyriocosmus:
    • PÉREZ-MILES, F. & D. WEINMANN (2009): Two new species of Cyriocosmus Simon, 1903 from Peru and the highest altitude record for the genus (Araneae, Theraphosidae, Theraphosinae). Revista Iberica de Aracnologia 17: 29-35.

      Abstract:
      Two new species of Cyriocosmus (Theraphosinae) from Perú are described
      and illustrated. Both differ from most other species of Cyriocosmus in the absence
      of a stripped pattern on the abdomen and males with the retrolateral
      branch of tibial apophysis distally incrassate and flattened. The cladistic relationships
      within the genus are reanalyzed including these new taxa. Specimens
      of the new species were collected at altitudes of between 2200 and 3000 m,
      these records constituting the highest altitudinal record for the genus.


    all the best,
    Martin
