Description of Guyruita gen. nov. and two new species (Ischnocolinae, Theraphosidae)

José Paulo Leite Guadanucci, Sylvia M. Lucas, Rafael Prezzi Indicatti, Flávio Uemori Yamamoto ,2007
The genus Guyruita gen. nov. and two new species from Brazil are described. Holothele waikoshiemi (Bertani & Araújo, 2005) from Venezuela is transferred here to the new genus. Guyruita gen. nov. differs from the remaining Ischnocolinae by the following features: labium densely occupied by a lot of cuspules (more than 100), intercheliceral intumescence absent, posterior sternal sigilla remote from margin, tarsal claws without teeth, tarsal scopula I-II undivided (tarsus II with a line of sparse setae, which does not divide the scopula), III-IV divided.
