Hemirrhagus is a genus of Mexican tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903. [3] It is considered a senior synonym of Spelopelma. [2] Species of the genus Hemirrhagus are 5 to 12 cm long, usually black in colour, the urticating hairs on the opisthosoma are arranged in one dorsomedian patch, two dorsal paramedian patches, or two lateral patches.
Theraphosa apophysis generally resembles Theraphosa blondi, and reaches a similar size. [3] Young T. apophysis spiders have pink shading at the end of each leg, which fades with each moult. [4]
Two types (II and V) were found in subfamily Aviculariinae, the other four types (I, III, IV and VI) in subfamily Theraphosinae. [1] A different type of urticating hair was found during the study of Kankuamo marquezi. The spider was covered with rust-colored bristles, including an unusual oval patch of sharp-tipped barbed hairs.
