Revised generic placement of Brachypelmaembrithes (Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936) and Brachypelmaangustum Valerio, 1980, with definition of the taxonomic features for identification of female Sericopelma Ausserer, 1875 (Araneae, Theraphosidae) Author Gabriel, Ray Author Longhorn, Stuart J. text ZooKeys 2015 526 75 104 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.526.6315 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.526.6315 1313-2970-526-75 BA29348F1339413E8F16B08F78DB167D Taxon classification Animalia Araneae Theraphosidae Sericopelma panamanum (Karsch, 1880) stat. rev. Theraphosa panamana Karsch, 1880: 84 (D male). Sericopelma panamana F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897a: 16. Sericopelma rubronitens Simon, 1892: 159 (S, here considered misplaced in this species). Type. Male (1 male holotype, ZMB 2394 BERLIN): Remarks. Simon (1892) makes no clear justification why Karsh's Theraphosa panamana from Chiriqui should be synonymous with Sericopelma rubronitens , only referring to similarities in eye pattern and absence of tibial spurs in Karsh's description against another non-type male specimen in the Paris collection, which he had assigned as Sericopelma rubronitens . Our re-examination of the type specimen confirmed its designation as a Sericopelma sp., but not its synonymy with Sericopelma rubronitens , which is here reversed. Distribution. Only known from type locality, Chiriqui = Chiriqui , Provincia de Chiriqui , Republica de Panama .
