Theraphosa apophysis is considered to be a difficult tarantula to care for and maintain, and is therefore not recommended for beginners. [4] This is due to their nervous and defensive disposition, as well as high humidity requirements.
The distribution of hairs on the legs and palp and the shape of the male and female genitalia are the diagnostic features of the genus. In common with species of Tliltocatl, the prolateral (forward facing) surface of the trochanter and femur of the first leg and the retrolateral surface of the pedipalp have plumose hairs, and there is no pad of plumose hairs on the femur of the fourth leg.
Hapalotremus is a genus of South American tarantulas in the Theraphosinae subfamily that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903. [2] They have red or white Type III urticating (relatively long, thin) hairs, [3] up to 1.2 millimetres (0.047 in), with a fine point and barbs along at least half of the lower part.
