Lasiodora spinipes Ausserer, 1871: 209 View in CoL ; 1875: 190; Simon 1892a: 161; Petrunkevitch 1911: 76; 1939: 240; Mello-Leitão 1921: 339, 349; 1923: 246, 265, f. 95; Roewer 1942: 251; Bonnet 1957: 2357; World Spider Catalog 2023.

Type material. Holotype female from Brazil: Rio Branco , Natterer leg., A. D. 1818, A. N. July 68, deposited at NHMW, examined

Remark. The holotype is a very large female specimen without abdomen (carapace 29 mm long, 23 mm wide). There is a typical stridulatory apparatus of Theraphosa on the coxae I and II. The specimen was collected by the naturalist Johann Natterer in Rio Branco (Branco River) which originates from the confluence of the rivers Uraricoera and Tacutu on northern of the state of Roraima, Brazil [3°01’N, 60°29’W] and discharges in the Rio Negro (Negro River) in the state of Amazonas, Brazil [1°23’S, 61°50’W]. Even though the specimen lacks the abdomen, it is possible to recognize that it belongs to Theraphosa genus. Therefore, I transfer Lasiodora spinipes , to Theraphosa spinipes ( Ausserer, 1871) n. comb.
