Abstract

In this contribution, Heterothele caudicula Simon, 1886 (Theraphosidae) is transferred to the genus Thalerommata Ausserer, 1875. Thalerommata caudicula new combination is based on the examination of the type that is characterized by flattened iridescent setae covering the abdomen, a synapomorphy of this genus. Thus, this is the ninth species of the genus known and Heterothele caudicula is removed from the Argentinean theraphosid fauna.
