Cyrtogrammomma
Pocock, 1895 was proposed based on specimen samples from Monte Roraima, Guyana, and allocated in the family Barychelidae. However, the most recent cladistic analysis transferred
Cyrtogrammomma
to Theraphosidae. Herein, we amended the diagnosis and description of
C. monticola
, providing a redescription of the male, and new illustrations, including the description of a new cuticular structure consisting of thick and stiff setae on dorsal metatarsi I and II of females. Moreover, we diagnose, describe and illustrate a new species of
Cyrtogrammomma
from northeastern Brazil:
C. frevo
sp. nov
. In addition, we provide an identification key, new distribution records of the genus in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Pará, and Pernambuco, in Brazil, and the first record for the genus in caves. |
