Type material.
Holotype

Remark.
The
holotype
is a very large female specimen without abdomen (carapace
29 mm
long,
23 mm
wide). There is a typical stridulatory apparatus of
Theraphosa
on the coxae I and II. The specimen was collected by the naturalist Johann Natterer in Rio Branco (Branco River) which originates from the confluence of the rivers Uraricoera and Tacutu on northern of the state of
Roraima
,
Brazil
[
3°01’N
,
60°29’W
] and discharges in the Rio Negro (Negro River) in the state of Amazonas,
Brazil
[
1°23’S
,
61°50’W
]. Even though the specimen lacks the abdomen, it is possible to recognize that it belongs to
Theraphosa
genus. Therefore, I transfer
Lasiodora spinipes
, to
Theraphosa spinipes
