Description de Brachypelma annitha n. sp. et de Brachypelma hamorii n. sp. mâles et femelles, nouvelles espèces proches de Brachypelma smithi (Cambridge, 1897) du Mexique
Arachnides 32: 8-20.
Abstract
<i>Brachypelma annitha</i> n.sp. and <i>Brachypelma hamorii</i> n.sp. (Mexico) show morphological differences with <i>B. smithi</i> although visually closer to the latter. Spermathecae and copulatory organs of males are food for thought. Indeed, if the spermathecae of <i>hamorii</i> are distinct, those of <i>annitha</i> are not. On the other hand, in the copulatory organs and tibial apophysis, the opposite is true: where the bulbs and tibial apophysis of <i>annitha</i> are distinct from <i>smithi</i>, in contrast those of <i>hamorii</i> are similar to the latter making it possible to consider including these as a subspecies in the genus.
