Comments

Jambu butantan gen. et comb. nov. was the only species attributed to Hapalopus and Hapalopini with type IV urticating setae ( Pérez-Miles 1998; Fukushima et al. 2005; Kaderka 2019; Kaderka et al. 2019), which is considered a diagnostic feature of Grammostolini ( Turner et al. 2018). Probably its previous classification in Cyriocosmus by Pérez-Miles (1998) and Hapalopus by Fukushima et al. (2005) was due to the presence of a paraembolic apophysis on the male palpal bulb. At that time this feature was only known in these Hapalopini genera. The presence of urticating setae IV together with paraembolic apophysis in Jambu gen. nov. lead us to transfer the species and propose Jambu butantan .

Emended diagnosis

Males can be differentiated from those of J. manoa gen. et sp. nov. and J. paru gen. et sp. nov. in the morphology of the PA, acute and not serrate, the presence of a PS, and the presence of a palpal tibial apophysis with two megaspines. Females differ from those of other species by the heart-shaped sclerotized spermathecae.
