Genus of spiders
Holothele is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1879.[ 4] Originally placed with the curtain-web spiders , it was transferred to the tarantulas in 1980.[ 5]
Diagnosis
They can be distinguished by the lack of urticating hairs , tarsus 4 being pseudo segmented. The tarsal claws own a row of teeth , and a labium with around 90 cuspules .[ 6]
