Arthropoda Selecta 34 (1): 58-63.
Abstract
We catalogue the theraphosids of the subfamilies Harpactirinae and Stromatopelminae housed in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg. The first record of Pterinochilus raygabrieli Gallon, 2009 from Ethiopia is presented with discussion on the bulb morphology of this species, alongside faunistic data on Eucratoscelus constrictus (Gerstaecker, 1873) and Pterinochilus murinus Pocock, 1897 in Kenya, Idiothele nigrofulva (Pocock, 1898) in South Africa, and Stromatopelma calceatum (Fabricius, 1793) in Guinea.
