Selenogyrinae


The Selenogyrinae are a subfamily of tarantulas found in Africa and Asia.

Characteristics

The Selenogyrinae are characterized by a unique stridulating organ situated between the chelicerae, which consists of two very similar rows of hair. In Annandaliella, this is reduced. Some species have labiosternal mounds and the clypeus is usually absent, or very narrow.

Genera

The WSC currently accepts these genera:
Selenogyrus and Euphrictus were the original genera in Hirst's 1908 Selenogyrinae. Annandaliella was added by Schmidt in 1993.
