03FB87A1FF88FFA299CAFAEEFA4BFBA6.taxon	distribution	Distribution and notes on natural history. The genus Lasiodora is endemic to Brazil, occurring from states of Piaui and Ceará in the north, to the state of São Paulo, in the south; state of Goias in the west; and the coast, from states of Piaui and Ceará to state of Rio de Janeiro in the east (Figs 17 ─ 18). Specimens of Lasiodora are sometimes found in shipments of wood or other goods, traveling to areas where they do not naturally occur (pers. obs.). Thus, some records from other areas distinct from the above are questionable. Lasiodora species are distributed mainly on areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest on the coast, but also in the interior of Brazil, in the biomes of Cerrado and Caatinga. In these two savannah-like (Cerrado) or semiarid (Caatinga) biomes, Lasiodora seems to occur in small patches of forested areas, such as riparian or hillside forests. For example, Lasiodora parahybana specimens are common on the rainforest of the Northeast coast, but there are records for the species in the Caatinga biome. Some areas in the Caatinga, known locally as “ brejos de altitude ”, are relicts of an ancient connection, in more humid periods, between the Amazon Forest on the north and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest on the east coast (Ab’Saber 1977; Carnaval & Moritz 2008). After a drier period, that connection was disrupted and most areas are now covered with caatinga vegetation. On more elevated regions, however, patches of Atlantic Forest remained, surrounded by semiarid areas, isolating populations of Lasiodora parahybana. The dependency to humid environments, perhaps, explain why it is common to find Lasiodora specimens inside caves (Trajano 2000). Caves are normally colder and wetter than the external environment, mainly those in the Cerrado and Caatinga, and can be used as retreats by the spiders. Vitalius is another genus having species living in similar habitat as those of Lasiodora, that is, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. However, they are common in Southeastern Brazil, where semiarid regions as those of Caatinga are lacking and there are only small patches of Cerrado. In this more humid region, Vitalius species, as other theraphosids, were never recorded inside caves, even though the fauna of several caves of that region are well explored and studied (Trajano 2000). One reason could be the contrasting external environments of the two cave regions.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FF8CFF9699CAFB60FC7EFE16.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lasiodora klugi male and female resemble those of L. parahybana, L. camurujipe n. sp., L. benedeni and L. subcanens by the spatulate stridulatory setae on prolateral coxae (Fig. 13), embolus long and slender (Figs 27 ─ 29), and spermatheca bulb not enlarged (Fig. 32). They can be distinguished from all the species above by the long stridulatory setae at the confluence of sutures (Figs 35 ─ 36). Additionally, the male can be distinguished from those of L. benedeni by the non-slender distal portion of the embolus (Figs 27 ─ 29), and females by the non-slender spermatheca bulb (Fig. 32). Male and female of L. klugi can be distinguished from those of. L. subcanens by lacking whitish setae covering carapace, dorsal chelicerae and legs (Figs 61 ─ 72); and from L. camurujipe n. sp. by retrolateral distal maxilla covered with short spiniform setae on its median area (Figs 38 ─ 39).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

Towards the southernmost region of state of Bahia and northern state of Espirito Santo the spiniform setae on the median and lower region of retrolateral palp maxilla are fewer in number, or completely absent (Figs 43, 45, 47, 49). Specimens from this region of Bahia and Espirito Santo also have some variation in color pattern. They are brownish and seems to have a small number of long setae on their legs (Figs 66, 71 ─ 72), whereas those from Ilheus and neighborhood have normally long yellowish setae over the legs and palps (Figs 61 ─ 64, 67 ─ 70).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FF8CFF9699CAFB60FC7EFE16.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Schiapelli & Gerschman de Pikelin (1979) examined and illustrated male and female specimens from Cabo and Recife collected by W. A. Forbes, deposited at BMNH (30 - 125) and cited by Pocock (1901: 544), considering them as types of L. klugi. Schiapelli & Gerschman de Pikelin (1979) also stated that the Pocock’s (1901) citation of the genus to Cabo and Recife in Argentina was a mistake. Pérez-Miles et al. (1996) considered a male from Iguarassu, Brazil, also deposited at the BMNH and examined by Pocock (1901), as the type of L. klugi. I examined these specimens at the BMNH and concluded they are not the types of L. klugi. Koch (1841) clearly stated the types are from Bahia in Brazil, whereas the specimens examined by Pocock (1901), Schiapelli and Gerschman Pikelin (1979) and Pérez-Miles et al. (1996) are from Recife and Cabo (presently Cabo de Santo Agostinho, a town close to Recife, the capital of the state of Pernambuco) and Iguarassu, all in the state of Pernambuco in Brazil. Most of Koch’s (1841) theraphosid Brazilian types are housed at ZMB and searches on that collection showed the types are deposited there and match the description, two males from Bahia, Brazil under the number ZMB 2039 (Figs 20 ─ 26). Those specimens are compatible with the specimens herein examined from the state of Bahia, in its southern portion including the historical city of Ilhéus. The male palp bulb morphology, stridulatory apparatus and general appearance match with specimens of this Brazilian region. Therefore, there is no doubt the real L. klugi types are those deposited at ZMB. The types of L. itabunae are a female and an immature male, both from Itabuna, state of Bahia, Brazil. The specimens have a stridulatory apparatus formed by a few long and slender reddish setae on coxa I (Figs 57 ─ 58) and the spiniform setae on retrolateral maxilla are distributed on the upper and median areas of the segment and a few sparse spiniform setae were seen at the lower area (Fig. 59). The spermathecae (Fig. 60) and type locality are also compatible with those of L. klugi. Therefore, I consider L. itabunae Mello-Leitão, 1921 a junior synonym of Lasiodora klugi (C. L. Koch, 1841).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L. Koch, 1850 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) with notes on related genera.

03FB87A1FF8CFF9699CAFB60FC7EFE16.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, from the “ Reconcavo Baiano ” region (near the capital Salvador) in the state of Bahia to northern state of Espirito Santo in the south and east of state of Minas Gerais in the west (Figs 73 ─ 74), including the Archipelago of Abrolhos off the coast of the state of Bahia. Rio Doce (Doce river) in northern state of Espirito Santo seems to be a dispersion barrier to the south. Scattered records from the state of São Paulo, Rio de janeiro and southern state of Espirito Santo (Figs 73 ─ 74) are questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora below). There is an isolated population of L. klugi in the Archipelago of Abrolhos, formed by five islands. I failed to find morphological differences between the populations from the mainland and the islands. Those from the islands resemble in appearance (Fig. 65) the populations from northern state of Espirito Santo and southernmost portion of state of Bahia (Fig. 66). Natural history. Specimens of Lasiodora klugi are found under fallen trunks, inside burrows, or on the ground, moving on the litter. At night, they are sometimes seen climbing on large trees (pers. obs., Fig. 70). Hollows between the roots of large trees as Ficus spp. seem to be particularly important for the spiders, as they are normally seen using them as retreats (pers. obs.). In the southern state of Bahia, L. klugi can be found in areas having a mixture of Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Cocoa plantation, known locally as “ cabruca ” that are important to preserve the local biodiversity (Fig. 70). Lasiodora klugi, as other Lasiodora species, are able to survive a certain degree of deforestation being frequently found in forest remnants in urban areas. In the largest island of Abrolhos Archipelago, Santa Barbara, L. klugi is abundant and can feed on lizards (Tropidurus sp.) (Secchin 1991). Eickstedt (1971) recorded 3 cases of parasitism by acrocerid flies of the genus Exetasis in L. klugi. Two cases are from the state of Bahia and Colatina, state of Espirito Santo, and are probably of L. klugi. The third case occurred with a spider without locality and cannot be confirmed to this species.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFBAFF8699CAFF43FD6EF87F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lasiodora benedeni males and females resemble those of L. parahybana, L. franciscana n. sp., L. klugi (part) and L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) by having spiniform setae only on the upper distal area of the retrolateral maxilla (Figs 87 ─ 88). Males can be distinguished from all the above species by the slender apical portion of the embolus (Figs 76 ─ 78). Females can be distinguished from those of L. parahybana by having slender stridulatory plumose setae on prolateral coxae (Figs 90 ─ 91); from those of L. franciscana n. sp. and L. sertaneja n. sp., they can be distinguished by spermathecae with narrow bulb (Fig. 81). From L. klugi, it differs by the relatively slender and short stridulatory setae spread over the area between the prolateral coxa I sutures (Figs 89 ─ 90).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

Color pattern (in alcohol): As in male, except: Legs black with abundant light brown long setae. Abdomen dorsally and ventrally with abundant long light brown setae. Apex of leg segments with whitish rings on apex. Morphological variation. Lasiodora benedeni males normally have a slender and long bulb embolus with a slender apex (Figs 76 ─ 78). Females have slender spermathecae normally closely positioned (Fig. 81). However, some variation was found mainly on the spermathecae, which, sometimes, have their bulbs wider. This normally happens in specimens with very sclerotized spermathecae (pers. obs.) (Fig. 117).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L. Koch, 1850 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) with notes on related genera. Zootaxa 5390 (1): 1-116, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5390.1.1, URL: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/download/zootaxa.5390.1.1/52544
03FB87A1FFBAFF8699CAFF43FD6EF87F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The type of L. benedeni Bertkau, 1880 is probably lost, as the majority of the non-European types of Bertkau (Levi 1991: 203). Fortunately, Bertkau (1880) published an illustration of the spermathecae, something unusual at that time (Fig. 75). He also gave measurements of cephalothorax (20 mm) and abdomen (26 mm) indicating it was a large specimen, and specified the type locality as Chapeu d’Uvas, a small town close to Juiz de Fora, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. With fresh specimens from the region of the type locality and having the information on spermathecae shape and the large size of the type, it is possible to identify the species and to consider it valid. Moreover, it is the only Lasiodora species distributed for a large area around the type locality. The holotype female of Lasiodora differens Chamberlin, 1917 has a stridulatory apparatus with slender reddish setae on coxae I and II, and spermathecae bulbs are slender (Fig. 99). The type locality is in the distribution of L. benedeni, even though on its western extreme. Thus, I consider L. differens Chamberlin, 1917 a junior synonym of L. benedeni Bertkau, 1880. The holotype female of Lasiodora curtior Chamberlin, 1917 has stridulatory apparatus with slender reddish setae on the coxae I and II and spermathecae bulbs are slender (Fig. 98). The type locality in Vassouras, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is compatible with the distribution of L. benedeni. Therefore, I consider L. curtior Chamberlin, 1917 a junior synonim of L. benedeni Bertkau, 1880. The syntypes of L. mariannae are male and female, both from Mariana, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The specimens are very fragmented, but the diagnostic structures are preserved. The stridulatory apparatus of the lectotype is formed by a group of slender, reddish setae on coxa I (Figs 102 ─ 103) and the spiniform setae on retrolateral maxilla are distributed only on the upper area of the segment (Fig. 104). The male bulb has the apex of bulb slender (Figs 100 ─ 101). The paralectotype female has the same structure of stridulatory apparatus (Figs 106 ─ 108) and the spermathecae bulbs are slender (Fig. 109). All these characters are compatible with those of L. benedeni, therefore, I consider L. mariannae Mello-Leitão, 1921 a junior synonym of Lasiodora benedeni Bertkau, 1880. Mello-Leitão (1921) described male and female of Lasiodora difficilis collected by Cleophas in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Just two years after, Mello-Leitão (1923) redescribed the species and stated the male is from the state of Ceará and only the female was collected by Cleophas, in the state of São Paulo. Only the female was found at the MZUSP, and, as the male is probably lost, the female MZUSP 139 is herein designated as lectotype. As diagnostic characters, such as the stridulatory apparatus (Figs 110 ─ 112) and spermathecae (Fig. 113), are compatible with L. benedeni, I consider Lasiodora difficilis Mello-Leitão, 1921 a junior synonym of Lasiodora benedeni Bertkau, 1880. The holotype female of Lasiodora erythrocythara Mello-Leitão, 1921 (MNRJ 50), from state of São Paulo, Brazil, is very fragmented and darkened. However, the stridulatory apparatus (Figs 114 ─ 116) and spermathecae (Fig. 117) are preserved and are compatible with those of L. benedeni. Therefore, I consider Lasiodora erythrocythara Mello-Leitão, 1921 a junior synonym of Lasiodora benedeni Bertkau, 1880. The holotype female of Acanthoscurria cristata Mello-Leitão, 1923 deposited at MNRJ has the label handwritten by the author, stating “ Typo ” and “ São Paulo ” instead of Ceará, as in the original description. The specimen has the stridulatory apparatus (Figs 118 ─ 119) and spermathecae (Fig. 120) compatible with those of L. benedeni Bertkau, 1880, species that can be found in the state of São Paulo, but not in the state of Ceará. Thus, I believe a mistake occurred and the real type locality is São Paulo. Due to the agreement in diagnostic characters, I consider Acanthoscurria cristata Mello-Leitão, 1923 a junior synonym of Lasiodora benedeni Bertkau, 1880.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFBAFF8699CAFF43FD6EF87F.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, southeastern state of Minas Gerais, western state of Rio de Janeiro to eastern state of São Paulo mainly in areas on the Mantiquera mountain range (Figs 123 ─ 124). In the state of São Paulo, they are found on the two mountain ranges on the borders of the River Paraiba do Sul valley, the Mantiqueira Range to the west and the Serra do Mar to the east, until close to the Capital of the state, São Paulo. Scattered records for the west and south of the state of São Paulo and Paraná (Figs 123 ─ 124) are questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). Natural history. Lasiodora benedeni is found mainly in areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest that covers the Mantiquera Mountains Range (Figs 123 ─ 124). The area of distribution of this species matches some of the more populated Brazilian municipalities (Figs 123 ─ 124), but the species seems to be able to survive in regions with a certain level of anthropization, mainly in rural areas and the borders of large cities, where vegetation still remains. The higher areas of the Mantiquera mountain range and Serra do Mar are of little economic interest and are more conserved, allowing the presence of this species.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

Specimens collected on the very humid areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest on the coast of the states of Alagoas, Pernambuco and Paraíba have the carapace and legs greyish to dark greyish and the whitish rings on distal articles of legs and palp are faded. The abdomen dorsum is covered with long yellowish or pink setae (Figs 154 ─ 155, 159 ─ 162). Specimens from localities on the coast of the states of Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, or in semi-arid areas far from the coast, living in enclaves of Brazilian Atlantic Forest, have the carapace, legs, and palp black with conspicuous wide white rings on distal articles of legs and palp. The long setae on abdomen dorsum are vivid red (Figs 153, 157 ─ 158). Despite the differences in color pattern, I failed to correlate the specimen patterns with genitalic or somatic characters; thus, they are herein considered to belong to the same species.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFA9FFFD99CAFF43FE4BFCFE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype female of Lasiodora parahybana Mello-Leitão, 1917, collected in Campina Grande in the state of Paraiba, Brazil, should be deposited at MNRJ, but is presumed lost (Silva-Moreira et al. 2010). Despite the unavailability of the type, a single Lasiodora species was found to occur north of São Francisco River, and some specimens collected close to the type locality were examined. Moreover, Mello-Leitão (1917) described the stridulatory apparatus of the type as formed by nine bacilliform setae arranged in two rows (4 + 5), which agrees with the spatulate stridulatory setae of the examined specimens. Thus, I keep the name Lasiodora parahybana Mello-Leitão, 1917 as valid based on the study of specimens from vicinities of the type locality. Moreover, this name has been traditionally used to name this large species occurring on the states of Paraiba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará and Piauí; and cited in diverse publications, such as studies of venom components. The holotype of L. acanthognatha is an immature male from São Paulo, Brazil. Mello-Leitão (1921) diagnosed this species by the presence of a “ rose-thorn-like spur in the external surface ” of the chelicera. Actually, the holotype has a spur as cited in the description, but only on the left chelicera (Figs 149 ─ 150). Thus, this structure is not symmetrical and it is likely to be a morphological anomaly. Even though the description and label state the specimen is from the state of São Paulo, it has spatulate stridulatory setae on the coxae I, similar to those of L. parahybana, which does not occur in São Paulo (Fig 147). I believe it is a label mistake and, as the stridulatory apparatus morphology agrees with that of L. parahybana, I consider Lasiodora acanthognatha Mello-Leitão, 1921 a junior synonym of Lasiodora parahybana Mello-Leitão 1917.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFA9FFFD99CAFF43FE4BFCFE.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, from the state of Piaui in the north and west to the state of Alagoas in the south (Figs 163 ─ 164). The São Francisco River seems to be a barrier to the dispersion of the species southwards. A single record for the state of Mato Grosso is questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). Natural history. Specimens of Lasiodora parahybana are found in areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest on the Brazilian coast, but also in forested enclaves in Caatinga biome (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). They are fairly easy to find at the biological reserves of Saltinho in the state of Pernambuco and Murici in the state of Alagoas, both areas covered with extensive areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Adults were seen inside burrows in ravines (Fig. 156) or in the space between tree roots, especially Ficus trees. Sometimes they were seen wandering during day or night. Immatures were found under rocks and fallen logs (pers. obs.). Vieira et al. (2012) reported the predation of the lizard Tropidurus hispidus Spix (Tropiduridae) by Lasiodora klugi in the Caatinga biome, in São José dos Cordeiros, state of Paraíba, Brazil. They stated L. klugi has a broad geographical distribution, with records in both the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes and quoted Bertani (2001). However, in that paper (Bertani 2001), a distribution was given of the genus Lasiodora, not the species L. klugi. Both the image published by Vieira et al. (2012) as well as the locality indicate the species is L. parahybana, not L. klugi. Nyffeler & Knörnchild (2012) reported the predation of an unidentified bat by L. parahybana in “ northeastern Brazil ”. However, no image or locality was given for a possible confirmation of the species. Souza et al. 2023 recorded a L. parahybana specimen preying on a Boana albomarginata treefrog. However, the published image shows a theraphosid with spatulate scopulae on tarsi and metatarsi of the anterior legs, a characteristic of arboreal theraphosids. Probably, the specimen corresponds to Iridopelma hirsutum Pocock, an arboreal theraphosid recorded for Estação Ecologica de Murici (Bertani 2012) where the predation event was recorded. Guette et al. (2006) studied peptides from the venom of specimens they identified as L. parahybana, but without additional information on the specimens used. The antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and hemolytic activities from L. parahybana venom was evaluated by Ferreira et al. (2016). Specimens used in Ferreira et al. (2016) are from a locality from which some specimens were examined here; thus, it is possible to confirm the species used. Ultrastructural characterization of the hemocytes were made by Soares et al. (2013).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L. Koch, 1850 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) with notes on related genera.

03FB87A1FFD3FFF399CAFC5EFF20FD37.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lasiodora subcanens males and females resemble those of L. camurujipe n. sp., L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) and L. klugi (part) by having spiniform setae not limited to the upper area of retrolateral maxilla (Figs 176 ─ 177). They can be distinguished from those of L. klugi (part) and L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) by having the distal maxilla covered with several spiniform setae on most of its upper, median and lower areas; whereas, in these two species normally, there are only a few spiniform setae on the median and lower areas. From L. camurujipe n. sp., they differ by the retrolateral distal maxilla being covered with several short spiniform setae; and by the abundant whitish setae covering most carapace, dorsal chelicerae and legs (Figs 199 ─ 200).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFD3FFF399CAFC5EFF20FD37.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype immature male of Lasiodora dulcicola Mello-Leitão, 1921 deposited at MZUSP has the retrolateral maxilla with several spiniform setae on its upper, medium and lower distal areas (Fig. 198) and the body covered with whitish setae, diagnostic characters of L. subcanens. The type locality, Rio Doce (Doce River) in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil and the collector and year, Garbe, 1906, are the same as for Lasiodora subcanens Mello-Leitão, 1921. Therefore, I consider that Lasiodora dulcicola Mello-Leitão, 1921 and Lasiodora subcanens Mello-Leitão, 1921 are synonyms. Mello-Leitão (1921) described Lasiodora dulcicola in page 340, whereas L. subcanens was described in page 344 of the same article. However, as the first reviser (ICZN 1999, Article 24.2), and taking into account that L. dulcicola holotype is an immature male, I choose Lasiodora subcanens Mello-Leitão, 1921 as senior synonym of Lasiodora dulcicola Mello-Leitão, 1921.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFD3FFF399CAFC5EFF20FD37.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, from southern state of Espirito Santo in the north to state of Rio de Janeiro in the south and state of Minas Gerais close to the boundary of state of Espirito Santo in the west (Figs 201 ─ 202). The Rio Doce (Doce River) seems to be a dispersal barrier to the north, and maybe the Paraíba do Sul River, a barrier to the south. However, there are some records for the Rio de Janeiro city and other localities that seems probable. Other records for the state of São Paulo and mountains near Petropolis in the state of Rio de Janeiro seems questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). Natural history. Lasiodora subcanens occurs in areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest, from the shore line to 700 m a. s. l.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFDDFFED99CAFC96FD8CFACA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lasiodora camurujipe n. sp. males and females resemble those of L. subcanens, L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) and L. klugi (part) by having spiniform setae not limited to the upper area of retrolateral maxilla (Figs 209 ─ 210). They can be distinguished from those of L. klugi (part) and L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) by having the distal maxilla covered with several spiniform setae on most of its upper, median and lower areas, whereas in these two species normally, there are only a few spiniform setae on the median and lower areas. From L. subcanens, they differ by the retrolateral distal maxilla covered with several well developed spiniform setae (Figs 209 ─ 210) and by lacking the abundant whitish setae covering most of the carapace, dorsal chelicerae and legs that L. subcanens have (Figs 219 - 222).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFDDFFED99CAFC96FD8CFACA.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, state of Bahia, endemic to the region from Salvador to Mata de São João municipalities (Figs 223 ─ 224). Natural history. The types and additional specimens were collected in the RPPN Camurujipe at night. The area is covered with Brazilian Atlantic Forest. All them were inside the spaces between Ficus tree roots. None were found under fallen logs or rocks, as well as inside burrows on ravines. As with L. klugi (see above), Ficus trees seem to be an important element for the spiders of this species, providing retreats. The area of distribution of. L. camurujipe n. sp. is roughly the same as those of other theraphosid species, such as Typhochlaena seladonia C. L. Koch, 1841, Iridopelma zorodes (Mello-Leitão, 1926), Pachistopelma bromelicola Bertani, 2012 (Bertani, 2012) and Vitalius sapiranga Bertani, 2023. It is concerning that this area of endemism is suffering an accelerated process of anthropization. Conservation areas on this biodiversity rich region should be created to protect this fauna (pers. obs.).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

Lasiodora sertaneja n. sp. males and females resemble those of L. franciscana n. sp. by the acicular stridulatory setae on the prolateral coxae (Figs 238 ─ 239), thick distal portion of embolus in male (Figs 225 ─ 227) and short spermathecae in female (Fig. 230). They can be distinguished from those of L. franciscana n. sp. by the retrolateral distal maxilla covered with well-developed spiniform setae on its upper area (Figs 236 ─ 237).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

Spermathecae (Fig. 230): Two very short spermathecae separated by heavily sclerotized short area, spermathecal stalk narrower than wide spermathecal bulb. Color pattern (in alcohol): As in the male. Morphological variation. As with L. klugi, in this species, there is variation on the distribution and number of spiniform setae on the retrolateral maxilla of the palp. Spiniform setae on the upper region of the maxilla of palp are always present, whereas they are missing on lower, and sometimes the middle region on most specimens (Figs 241, 243). Specimens from the northern limit of distribution of the species, notably those from the right margins of Rio São Francisco (São Francisco River) have some spiniform setae on the lower and middle retrolateral area of palp maxilla (Figs 231 ─ 232, 236 ─ 237). They have also conspicuous spiniform setae distributed on the prolateral coxae, mainly those of the legs I and II (Figs 239 ─ 240), which are not conspicuous on specimens from other regions (Figs 242, 244). These geographical morphological differences seem to form a cline, and thus they are herein considered to belong to the same species.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFC3FFE499CAFA8AFB5AF84B.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, from the northern boundaries of the states of Bahia and Sergipe in the north, to the extreme north of state of Minas Gerais in the south (Figs 253 ─ 254). The São Francisco River seems to be a dispersal barrier to the species in the north. A record for state of Pará (Figs 17 ─ 18) is questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). Natural history. Lasiodora sertaneja n. sp. specimens are found in areas of the biome Caatinga but, as discussed above in “ distribution and notes on natural history ” under Lasiodora genus, they seem to occur in small patches of forested areas, such as riparian or hillside forests. The predation event on the bat Pteronotus personatus (Wagner) (Mormoopidae) recorded by Dias et al. (2015) in a cave in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, was probably done by a specimen of L. sertaneja n. sp. Leite et al. (2019) reported the predation of the lizard Ameivula nigrigula (Arias, De Carvalho, Rodrigues & Zaher) by an adult Lasiodora sp. in Itaguaçu, state of Bahia, Brazil, area of occurrence of L. sertaneja n. sp. However, I failed to recognize the single image provided as L. sertaneja n. sp. or any other Lasiodora species. The image resembles Acanthoscurria natalensis Chamberlin, a species that also occurs in that region.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFCCFFDB99CAFF43FB86FE86.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lasiodora franciscana n. sp. males and females resemble those of L. parahybana, L. benedeni, L. klugi (part) and L. sertaneja n. sp. (part) by having spiniform setae only on the upper distal area of the retrolateral maxilla (Figs 266 ─ 267). They can be distinguished from L. parahybana, L. klugi (part) and L. benedeni by having slender, acicular stridulatory setae on the prolateral coxae (Figs 263 ─ 264); from those of L. sertaneja n. sp. by the retrolateral distal maxilla covered with weakly developed spiniform setae on its upper area (Figs 266 ─ 267).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFCCFFDB99CAFF43FB86FE86.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the São Francisco River, one of the most important Brazilian rivers, being almost 3,000 kilometers in length. It originates in the southwestern state of Minas Gerais and runs north throughout the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia and washes to the Atlantic Ocean in the boundary between the states of Alagoas and Sergipe. The new species distribution mostly overlaps the southern part of the São Francisco valley.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFCCFFDB99CAFF43FB86FE86.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, from the northern state of Goiás and southwestern state of Bahia in the north to southern state of Minas Gerais and extreme north of state of São Paulo in the south (Figs 283 ─ 284). Scattered records for the city of São Paulo and near localities (Figs 283 ─ 284) are questionable (see distribution and notes on natural history of Lasiodora above). Natural history. Lasiodora franciscana n. sp. occurs in areas of the biome Cerrado, but, as discussed above for L. sertaneja n. sp., Lasiodora species occurring in open environments seem to live in small patches of forested areas, such as riparian or hillside forests. I found a female inside a termite mound on a forest patch surrounded by Cerrado vegetation in Catalão, state of Goiás. The effects of the venom of Lasiodora sp. (now identified as L. franciscana n. sp.) on Ca 2 + and Na + channels has been studied by Kushmerick et al. (2001). The effects of the venom of the same species on the isolated rat heart was studied by Kalapothakis et al. 2003. Toxins expressed by the venom gland (Vieira et al. 2004) and a vasodilator component (Horta et al. 2013) were isolated from the venom of this species. These authors deposited a voucher specimen in IBSP which was herein examined allowing to confirm the identification.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFF5FFDB99CAFA99FE81F8CF.taxon	discussion	Remark. Holmberg (1876) described a small specimen (14 ─ 15 mm of length) based on specimens collected in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The description was based on the color pattern and no diagnostic character was mentioned. After contacting the curators of the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “ Bernardino Rivadavia ”, Dr. Cristina Scioscia and Dr. Martín Ramirez, I was given the information that no Holmberg’s types are known to exist, and maybe they were never deposited in a scientific collection. Therefore, I consider Mygale moreni (Holmberg, 1876) a nomen dubium.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFF5FFDB99CAFCC9FE81FB3B.taxon	discussion	Remark. Ausserer (1871) described a male from Brazil and gave a detailed description on color pattern, body setae, leg spines, and measurements of carapace, the posterior leg and total length. He also illustrated the male palpal bulb which is compatible with those of species of Lasiodora and Vitalius genera. However, the description solely does not allow the identification of the species, due to the difficulty in identifying Lasiodora and Vitalius species and the lack of diagnostic characters in the description. The type, which should be deposited in the NHMW, was not located and seems to be lost. As it is not possible to recognize the species, I, herein, consider Lasiodora striatipes, a nomen dubium.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFF5FFD899CAF88DFF24FDDE.taxon	discussion	Remark. Bertkau (1880) described a young female from Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and gave information on color pattern, measurements of legs, spines and illustrated a urticating hair (for the first time in the literature) of type I according to the classification of Cooke et al. (1972). Even though the author illustrated the female genitalia of other mygalomorph species described in the same paper (something very unusual at that time, and anticipating the taxonomic value of these structures) he did not illustrate the spermathecae of this new species. Thus, possibly the specimen was an immature male. Despite the detailed description including urticating hair type, it is not possible to recognize this species. There are at least three theraphosine species occurring in Rio de Janeiro that have type I urticating hair and fit Bertkau’s (1880) description (pers. obs.). The type was not found, and is probably lost, as are the majority of non-european types of Bertkau (Levi 1991: 203). Therefore, I consider Lasiodora fallax a nomen dubium.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

Strand (1907) described two males and a small female from state of Bahia, Brazil as Lasiodora klugi and stated that, if the specimens are not conspecific with L. klugi, it should be given the name L. bahiensis for the species. Some years after, Mello-Leitão (1921) synonymized L. bahiensis Strand, 1907 with L. klugi. The syntypes should be deposited at SMNS, but they were not located. According to the curator, Dr. Joachim Holstein, “ there are no specimens of Araneae in our collection older than from the 1960 s and it is evident, that all Strand specimens got lost in WW II ”. Strand (1907) gave detailed measurements of most relevant body structures as carapace, legs, chelicera, spinnerets, and described eyes positions, as well the color pattern of the three specimens. However, none of these characters allow the identification of Lasiodora species, and, since the type is lost, I consider Lasiodora bahiensis a nomen dubium.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFF6FFD899CAFDBEFE0FFAD6.taxon	discussion	Remark. Keyserling (1891) described Trechona pantherina based on a small female from Taquara do Mundo Novo (now Taquara, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). He stated the specimen has two rows of teeth in the STC, in litt.: “ Klauen haben 2 Reihen Zähnchen ”. This character is widespread in diplurids and pycnothelids, and in Theraphosidae it is present only in males (Raven 1985). In the same paper, he described another species in Trechona, T. auronitens Keyserling, 1891, based on a male from the same locality. This species is now in the genus Pycnothele Chamberlin, 1917 (Pycnothelidae), as synonym of P. auripila (Mello-Leitão) (World Spider Catalog 2023). Therefore, it is highly probable that T. pantherina is also a pycnothelid. However, since the type is probably lost and the information given in the description is not enough to allow the species identification, I consider Trechona pantherina a nomen dubium.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFF8FFD799CAF971FE0FFC46.taxon	materials_examined	Type material. Holotype female of Crypsidromus isabellinus Ausserer, 1871, from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, v. Tschudi col., 1867. II. 1, deposited at NHMW Nº 109, examined (Figs 285 ─ 288). Holotype male of Proshapalopus anomalus Mello-Leitão, 1923, from Brazil, state of Rio de Janeiro, Pinheiro (now Pinheiral), deposited at MNRJ, examined. Remark. The type label of C. isabellinus indicates the specimen was collected in Rio de Janeiro by Von Tschudi. Johann Jakob von Tschudi was a Swiss naturalist who travelled the South America and visited Brazil in two occasions, 1857 ─ 59, and 1860 ─ 68, as a Swiss Embassador. He travelled from the north of the state of Rio de Janeiro by the valley of Paraiba do Sul River, by the cities of Campos, São Fidelis, Nova Friburgo, Cantagalo, until Rio de Janeiro, the Capital. Posteriorly, he travelled to the state of São Paulo and Southern Brazil (Tschudi 1953). As in the label there is only the indication of “ Rio de Janeiro ”, probably the holotype was collected in the Rio de Janeiro Capital or in neighboring cities. The species previously identified as Proshapalopus anomalus, presently synonymized with C. isabellinus, has records from Rio de Janeiro (pers. obs.). Images recently obtained of the C. isabellinus holotype (Figs 285 ─ 288) show the spermathecae shape of C. isabellinus is more rounded than those of Lasiodora spp., and has no sclerotized area between them, even though small specimens of Lasiodora also can have weakly slerotized area between the two spermathecae (Fig. 287). The C. isabellinus holotype has the spermathecae well sclerotized, but not the space between them, showing they are really separated. It was also possible to see modified type I urticating setae, with the region “ b ” longer than region “ a ” (Fig. 288). This is an apomorphy for Proshapalopus anomalus and P. multicuspidatus (Bertani 2001), not found in any Lasiodora species. Proshapalopus multicuspidatus female lacks type III urticating setae, whereas P. anomalus have them. As the holotype of C. isabellinus has type III urticating setae, I consider the two species synonyms and, as Crypsidromus isabellinus Ausserer, 1875 has priority over P. anomalus, I remove Crypsidromus from the synonymy with Lasiodora and consider it a senior synonym of Proshapalopus and the species Crypsidromus isabellinus a senior synonym of Proshapalopus anomalus.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFF9FFD499CAFA9DFE50FE4E.taxon	discussion	Remark. The larger syntype female of Crypsidromus bolivianus deposited at MNHN (AR 4653, 15135) labelled as “ Crypsidromus vel Eurypelma pull ”, Bolivia, agrees with the description of Simon (1892 a) and is, herein, designated as lectotype. It has stridulatory setae on retrolateral trochanter (Fig. 189), a diagnostic character of Acanthoscurria, and, therefore, is transferred to Acanthoscurria. Espiritu Santo, the type locality of this species, is close to San Mateo, also in Bolivia, the type locality of Acanthoscurria insubtilis Simon, 1892 in which holotype male was captured by the same collector (G. Garlepp) and published in the same paper (Simon 1892 a). The type specimen of A. boliviensis has spermathecae with a narrow base and two receptacles closely positioned, corresponding to the female of A. insubtilis (Fig. 290). Therefore, I consider C. boliviensis and A. insubtilis synonyms. Even though A. boliviensis has page priority over A. insubtilis, as first reviser (ICZN 1999, Article 24.2), I choose A. insubtilis as senior synonym of A. boliviensis as that name was cited more times in the literature (World Spider Catalog 2023). Therefore, I consider Acanthoscurria boliviensis (Simon, 1892) n. comb. a junior synonym of Acanthoscurria insubtilis Simon, 1892.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFFBFFD299CAFE5CFB3DFDFA.taxon	discussion	Remark. Lasiodora lakoi was described by Mello-Leitão (1943) based on a male from Tavariá Grande, Rio Purus, Brazil. The MNRJ has a specimen with a label with the same locality and collector and the indication of “ Typus ”, but with the name “ Acanthoscurria pugnax ” (Moreira-Silva et al. 2010). Acanthoscurria pugnax Vellard, 1924 was described 19 years before by Vellard (1924) with a male specimen from the border of the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, in Brazil, and is now considered a junior synonym of Acanthoscurria gomesiana Mello-Leitão, 1923 (World Spider Catalog 2023). It seems that Mello-Leitão identified this specimen as A. pugnax Vellard, 1924 and then realized it was a new species and honored the collector, Lako, with the new species name without replacing labels. Measurements of the specimen also agree with the description (Silva-Moreira et al. 2010). The type locality is probably Tauariá Grande [05 º 34 ’ 50 ” S, 63 º 53 ’ 60 ” W] (Silva-Moreira et al. 2010), a nowadays still a remote small locality on the border of Rio Purús belonging to Tapauá in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The specimen is very large, covered with velvety setae and lacks stridulatory apparatus on the coxae. It has a bifid spur on leg I (Figs 293 ─ 294), and the metatarsus I, when folded, touches the retrolateral process laterally. The male palp bulb is strongly flattened laterally and has a concave / convex shape (Figs 295 ─ 296). It lacks the retrolateral keel and has additional prolateral keels. All these characters match with the diagnostic characters of the genus Megaphobema. Therefore, Lasiodora lakoi Mello-Leitão, 1943 is transferred to Megaphobema lakoi (Mello-Leitão, 1943) new comb. This species seems indistinguishable from Megaphobema velvetosoma Schmidt, 1995, but, as the Megaphobema genus remains unrevised, I prefer not to synonymize M. velvetosoma with M. lakoi.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.

03FB87A1FFFCFFD299CAFD5AFDF4FBB5.taxon	discussion	Remark. The holotype is a very large female specimen without abdomen (carapace 29 mm long, 23 mm wide). There is a typical stridulatory apparatus of Theraphosa on the coxae I and II. The specimen was collected by the naturalist Johann Natterer in Rio Branco (Branco River) which originates from the confluence of the rivers Uraricoera and Tacutu on northern of the state of Roraima, Brazil [3 ° 01 ’ N, 60 ° 29 ’ W] and discharges in the Rio Negro (Negro River) in the state of Amazonas, Brazil [1 ° 23 ’ S, 61 ° 50 ’ W]. Even though the specimen lacks the abdomen, it is possible to recognize that it belongs to Theraphosa genus. Therefore, I transfer Lasiodora spinipes, to Theraphosa spinipes (Ausserer, 1871) n. comb.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFFCFFD399CAFB17FB16FE6B.taxon	discussion	Remark.

There is no doubt it belongs to the genus Acanthoscurria and, therefore, it is transferred to it making the new combination Acanthoscurria sternalis (Mello-Leitão, 1923) n. comb. However, there is already a species with the same name, Acanthoscurria sternalis Pocock, 1903, a junior synonym of Acanthoscurria musculosa Simon, 1892. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new name to replace the homonymy.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFFDFFD399CAFE2AFDFDFCB2.taxon	discussion	Remark. This species was formerly identified as Vitalius cristatus (Mello-Leitão, 1923) by Baumgarten (1998) and Schmidt (1998). As the type of Vitalius cristatus, Acanthoscurria cristata Mello-Leitão, 1923 was determined by Bertani (2001) to be a Lasiodora specimen, Schmidt (2004) realized it was an yet undescribed species and published it in the genus Nhandu, as Nhandu chromatus. Herein, it is transferred to Vitalius based on the topology obtained from the cladistic analysis.	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C. L.

03FB87A1FFFDFFD099CAFC13FDD0FF12.taxon	discussion	Remark. Sherwood, Gabriel & Brescovit (2023) described a new species of Nhandu, N. sylviae, based on a male deposited at the BMNH, from “ near Isherton ”, Guyana, collected in 1952 by G. McDonnell; and 2 females from “ Guyana ”, collected by Gaubey, without further data, deposited at the MNHN. The authors stated “ The description of N. sylviae represents the first records of Nhandu north of the Amazon River ”. In fact, all species of the related genera Nhandu, Vitalius, Lasiodora, Tekoapora, Lasiocyano, Parvicarina, Crypsidromus, Eupalaestrus and Pterinopelma are distributed south of the Amazon river, mainly in the Northeastern, Centralwestern, Southeastern and Southern Brazil (Bertani 2001). Thus, this new species record is extraordinary. But, as Carl Sagan’s aphorism, “ extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence ”. This is not the case. The specimens were not collected in the same locality and their conspecificity was not discussed. The authors presented an image of the spermathecae of the female which is compatible with those of Nhandu coloratovillosus and Nhandu tripepii, but they did not discuss other diagnostic characters of the genus Nhandu (Bertani 2001). All Nhandu species have the carapace covered with long curled setae (Bertani 2001), but the authors did not cite this character. Even though the spermathecae resemble two Nhandu species, spermathecae shape of theraphosids are simple structures which sometimes have similar shape in not closely related taxa, i. e., there is a lot of homoplasy (pers. obs.). Moreover, the holotype male of N. sylviae has a palp bulb with slender distal embolus that does not fit the incrassate embolus of Nhandu species (Bertani 2001). Furthermore, the images presented by the authors show a double spur with short curved processes, and the metatarsus I surely folds on the retrolateral face of the retrolateral process. All Nhandu species with spur have both processes more or less straight and the metatarsus I touches the apex of the retrolateral process when folded (Bertani 2001). The tibial spur shape of N. sylviae is very similar to that of Vitalius species and is diagnostic of the genus (Bertani 2001). The male bulb shape is very similar to that of Vitalius sorocabae (Bertani 2001 f. 76 ─ 77), which also have whitish rings on the legs, as that showed in figs 6 ─ 7 of Sherwood, Gabriel and Brescovit (2023). Therefore, I consider a label mistake has occurred and the specimen is not from Guyana, but from Southeastern Brazil. Due to this, I consider Nhandu sylviae Sherwood, Gabriel and Brescovit, 2023 a junior synonym of Vitalius sorocabae (Mello-Leitão, 1923).	en	Bertani, Rogério (2023): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of Lasiodora C.
