Notes: The monogeneric Subfamily ACANTHOPELMINAE Smith, 1994 was transferred from THERAPHOSINAE to ISCHNOCOLINAE by Pérez-Miles et al., 1996 due to the absence of abdominal urticating hairs and keels on embolus. Subfamily GRAMMOSTOLINAE Mello-Leitao, 1923 was synonymized with THERAPHOSINAE by Raven, 1985. The monogeneric Subfamily SPELOPELMINAE Smith, 1994 (Mexican cave dwelling tarantulas) was synonymized with THERAPHOSINAE by Pérez-Miles & Locht, 2003). The name SINURTICANTINAE Samm & Schmidt, 2008 is in contradiction with ICZN rules.
