Holothele is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1879.[4] Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders, it was transferred to the tarantulas in 1980.[5]

Diagnosis

They can be distinguished by the lack of urticating hairs, tarsus 4 being pseudo segmented. The tarsal claws own a row of teeth, and a labium with around 90 cuspules.[6]

Species

As of July 2022 it contains six species, found in the West Indies and in the north of South America:[1]

  • Holothele culebrae (Petrunkevitch, 1929) – Puerto Rico
  • Holothele denticulata (Franganillo, 1930) – Cuba
  • Holothele longipes (L. Koch, 1875) (type) – Panama, Venezuela, Bolivia, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil
  • Holothele maddeni (Esposito & Agnarsson, 2014) - Dominican Republic
  • Holothele shoemakeri (Petrunkevitch, 1926) – US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas)
  • Holothele sulfurensis Maréchal, 2005 – Guadeloupe
