Hi,
a new genus Cubanana gen. nov. and new species Cubanana cristinae sp. nov.:
Ortiz D., 2008: Description of Cubanana cristinae, a new genus and species of theraphosinae tarantula (Araneae : Theraphosidae) from the Island of Cuba. Boletin Sociedad Entomologica Aragonesa n. 42 (200: 107-122.
Abstract:
Cubanana cristinae gen. et sp. nov. is described from eastern Cuba and its phylogenetic relationships are discussed.
Males are characterized by presenting a denticulate subapical keel on the palpal bulbs, a nodule in the retrolateral side of the
palpal tibiae and two-branched tibial spurs on legs I. Both sexes lack stridulating apparatus, possess urticating hairs of types I
and III and the retrolateral side of the femora IV covered by a pad of ciliate hairs, in addition to the Theraphosinae synapomorphies.
A list of currently recognized 49 genera of Theraphosinae is given, as well as data on its composition and depository institutions
of type specimens
all the best,
Martin
