(APH_1440; Fig. 26). Specimen preparation and condition: Specimen collected live crossing trail, preserved in 80% ethanol; original coloration faded due to preservation. Left legs I, III, IV, and left pedipalp removed for measurements and photographs; stored in vial with specimen. Right leg III removed for DNA and stored at -80°C in the AUMNH (Auburn, AL). General coloration: Generally black or faded black. Cephalothorax: Carapace 12.39 mm long, 11.33 mm wide; densely clothed with black/faded black pubescence, appressed to surface; fringe covered in long setae not closely appressed to surface; foveal groove medium deep and procurved; pars cephalica region rises gradually from foveal groove, gently arching anteriorly toward ocular area; AER procurved, PER recurved; normal sized chelicerae; clypeus straight; LBl 1.18, LBw 1.56; sternum hirsute, clothed with short black/brown, densely packed setae. Abdomen: Densely clothed in short black/brown pubescence with numerous longer, lighter setae interspersed (generally red or orange in situ); dense dorsal patch of black Type I urticating bristles (
|
||
<bibRefCitation pageId="53" pageNumber="54">Cooke et al. 1972</bibRefCitation>
|

); ventral setae same as dorsal. Legs: Hirsute; densely clothed with short, similar length black/brown

All tarsi fully scopulate. Extent of metatarsal scopulation: leg III (SC3) = 53.0%; leg IV (SC4) = 30.6%. Five ventral spinose setae on metatarsus III; eleven ventral spinose setae, one prolateral and one retrolateral spinose seta on metatarsus IV; one large megaspine is present on the retrolateral tibia at the apex of the mating clasper - this can be seen when viewing the prolateral face of the mating clasper; the prolateral branch of the tibial apophyses possesses a very large megaspine that projects anteriorly. Coxa I: Prolateral surface a mix of fine, hair-like and tapered/thin tapered setae. Pedipalps: Hirsute; densely clothed in the same setal color as the other legs, with numerous longer ventral setae; one spinose seta at the apical, prolateral femur and two spinose setae on the prolateral tibia; PTl 8.058, PTw 2.911. When extended, embolus tapers with a gentle curve to the retrolateral side near apex; embolus slender, no keels.

in oak-grassland communities along the lower elevations of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Only a single burrow (of an adult female, APH_1602, Fig. 25) of this species has been observed, located a few meters from a hiking trail surrounded by grasses and large rocks. The structure of the burrow was fairly typical for a North American theraphosid (i.e., circular and covered by a thin veil of silk) and did not appear too deep or well drained; the specimen was easily flooded from its burrow with less than a liter of water. Each adult male of

examined in this study was found during daylight hours in December, suggesting that the breeding period for this species is restricted to late autumn and early winter; one of these males was found wandering along a snow bank on a sunny afternoon (APH_0454, P. Marek 2008, pers. comm.). An unconfirmed adult male (no voucher specimen available, identification tentatively assigned based on a photograph and locality data) was found above 1760 meters in an oak woodland community during early February (P. MacDuff 2015, pers. comm.).

This mountain range is entirely contained within the Coronado National Forest (Santa Catalina Ranger District) which is afforded some degree of protection; however, increased urbanization of the Tucson Metropolitan Area (one of the most rapidly growing areas in the United States), increased recreation in the mountains, and climate change have impacted these habitats (
