Genus of spiders
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. The tibial apophysis is branched twice (in males only),
[4] and there is a conspicuous subapical keel on the male's
embolus .
