Долгожданное описание

[Mikhail F. Bagaturov]

В новом номере журнала Английского общества вместо моей статьи наконец описана пресловутая Poecilotheria sp. "tigris".

Теперь официально она назыввается Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli Smith, 2006

Ясненько, узкоареальная.

Ясненько, узкоареальная.

Ну, в общем неясненько.

Будет ясненько, как я журнал получу, хотя бы электронную версиюА пока бумажная мне идёт авиа-почтой... и ещё неизвестно сколько идти будет, как обычно

A New Species of Poecilotheria from Northeast Peninsular India

(Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Theraphosidae) With Notes on its

Distribution and Conservation Status

Summary:

A new species of theraphosid spider of the genus Poecilotheria is described from the northeast region of Peninsular India. The area is on the most extreme northeastern fringe of the Deccan sub-region and can be most readily defined as the region encompassing the northern foothills of the Eastern Ghats in the Visakhapatnam region. The new spider, Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli sp. n., can be readily distinguished from P. miranda Pocock, 1900, with which its shares part of its range, by the arrangement of the pattern and colouring on the ventral surface of the legs and the prolateral face of the femora of the anterior legs. This colouring and pattern also distinguishes this new spider from a similar looking Poecilotheria spider – P. formosa Pocock, 1899, which is common in the southern half of the Eastern Ghats in the region associated with the Coromandel coast.
