03E4D67C3828FFCAFDC06AC08920B704.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This species differs from other species of Grammostola by its small size, about 25 mm of body length (excluding chelicerae and spinnerets). Males can be recognized from all Grammostola species by a small bristle of erected and stiff setae at the palpal tarsi (Figure 1 G). Additionally, it differs from G. burzaquensis by the absence of the smooth setae on the prolateral and retrolateral aspects of legs and retrolateral palpal maxillae, and by the presence of curved spermathecal receptacles (Ferretti et al. 2011). It can be distinguished from G. vachoni by its small size, the shape of the palpal bulb and the absence of the stiff spiniform setae on the prolateral and retrolateral aspects of legs and retrolateral palpal maxillae. It differs from G. inermis Mello-Leitão, 1941 by its small size, the shape of the palpal bulb and the shape of the spermathecae with curved receptacles (Schiapelli and Gerschman 1961).	en	Ferretti, Nelson, Pompozzi, Gabriel, González, Alda, Pérez-Miles, Fernando (2013): The genus Grammostola Simon 1892 (Araneae: Theraphosidae): a new species from western Argentina, new synonymy and distributional data.

03E4D67C3828FFCAFDC06AC08920B704.taxon	discussion	Remarks The size of Grammostola species from Argentina ranged from the small G. burzaquensis Ibarra-Grasso 1946 (about 32 mm of total length) to G. pulchripes (about 80 mm in total length), thus G. diminuta sp. nov. is the smallest species known of the genus.	en	Ferretti, Nelson, Pompozzi, Gabriel, González, Alda, Pérez-Miles, Fernando (2013): The genus Grammostola Simon 1892 (Araneae: Theraphosidae): a new species from western Argentina, new synonymy and distributional data.

03E4D67C3824FFC4FE4F6AC0893DB49C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Grammostola vachoni can be recognized by the following combination of characters: presence of short stiff and long spiniform setae on prolateral and retrolateral coxal aspects of legs I – III, prolateral coxae IV and retrolateral palpal maxillae; male palpal bulb pyriform with narrow bulb base, PI and PS developed, curved and long embolus, bent at the mid portion and strongly bent at the apical portion (Figure 3 A, B); two short and curved spermathecal receptacles; coloration (in vivo) black with prominent lines on patella and numerous long yellowish setae on ventral faces of all legs (Ferretti et al. 2011) (Figure 3 D).	en	Ferretti, Nelson, Pompozzi, Gabriel, González, Alda, Pérez-Miles, Fernando (2013): The genus Grammostola Simon 1892 (Araneae: Theraphosidae): a new species from western Argentina, new synonymy and distributional data.
