Annandaliella ermakulamensis is a species of tarantula (family Theraphosidae) in the subfamily Selenogyrinae. It is one of three species in the genus Annandaliella and the first to be described in 73 years.[2] It is native to Ernakulam, Kerala State, India .[3][4]
Etymology
The specific name of this tarantula, ermakulmensis, honors the type locality, Ermakulam.[3]
Characteristics
Annandaliella ermakulamensis has three peg-like setae on the inside of the chelicerae, a tibial comb consisting of long black setae on a tibial apophysis (i.e. a protrusion), and a long, tapering embolus without any apical keels. It is reddish brown, but on the cephalothorax it has thick dark bands radiating from the fovea, a grove in the center of the cephalothorax, to the coxae of the legs and the ocularium.[3]
