Lampropelma is a genus of Indonesian tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[2] (As of March 2020) it contains two species, found in Indonesia.
Diagnosis
They can be distinguished from Phormingochilus and Omothymus though to the apical swelling of the embolus, which then narrows to a point in the apex. Furthermore their distribution can be used as an identifying factor, as they are only found in Indonesia.[3]
Species
(As of July 2022), this genus owns two species, both being found in Indonesia.[4]
- Lampropelma carpenteri (Smith & Jacobi, 2015) - Borneo, Indonesia
- Lampropelma nigerrimum Simon, 1892 - Indonesia
In synonymy
- Lampropelma kirki (Smith & Jacobi, 2015) = Lampropelma carpenteri
Transferred to other genera
- Lampropelma nigerrimum arboricola Schmidt & Barensteiner, 2015 → Phormingochilus arboricola
- Lampropelma violaceopes Abraham, 1924 → Omothymus violaceopes
