Acanthopelminae

Main article: Acanthopelminae

Acanthopelminae, first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1897, is a subfamily of small, terrestrial New World tarantulas. This sub-family has only one genus, Acanthopelma, and two species, A. beccarri and A. rufescens, found in Guyana and Central America.

Acanthopelma F. O. P.-Cambridge, 1897

• Acanthopelma beccarii Caporiacco, 1947 — Guyana
• Acanthopelma rufescens F. O. P.-Cambridge, 1897 — Central America

Aviculariinae

Aviculariinae are a subfamily of tropical, tree-dwelling New World tarantulas. They range from the Caribbean to South America, and are commonly known as "pinktoe" tarantulas. The genera Avicularia, Ephebopus and Pachistopelma possess urticating hairs, but cannot "flick" them into the air; instead the hairs are pressed into an enemy upon contact.
