Accessing the challenges of descriptive morphology in Barychelidae and Theraphosidae through a morphometric approach (Araneae, Mygalomorphae)

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Phylogenetic studies have confirmed that Barychelidae is a sister group of Theraphosidae. However, taxonomic instability has led to the transfer of genera between the two families, both families show overlapping diagnostic characteristics, indicating a similarity making species differentiation challenging. In this study, we conducted an evaluation of three morphological characters tha...
