Haplocosmia is a genus of Asian tarantulas that was first described by Günter E. W. Schmidt & V. von Wirth in 1996.[2] (As of March 2020) it contains three species, found in Nepal, Himalayas and Tibet: H. himalayana, H. nepalensis and H. sherwoodae .[1]
Diagnosis
They can be distinguished by the spermathecae, which is in one piece, which thorn like hairs on the chelicarea and the scopula on tarsi 1 through 4. The scopula on tarsus 4 is divided by hairs.[3]
Behaviour and ecology
They burrow in silk-linen burrows in the ground, and are found at elevations of 1000-2000m.[4]
