Theraphosa Blondi Theraphosa blondi Theraphosa blondi, mieux connu en français comme araignée Goliath ou mygale de Leblond, est une 1 espèce d'araignées mygalomorphes de la famille des Theraphosidae . Theraphosa blondi Sommaire 1 Distribution 2 Habitat 3 Description 4 Nourriture 5 Étymologie 6 En captivité 7 Theraphosa blondi dans la culture 8 Publication originale 9 Liens externes Classification selon The World Spider Catalog 10 Notes et références (http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/catalog/INTRO1.html) Règne Animalia Distribution EmbranchementArthropoda 1 2 Sous-embr. Chelicerata Cette espèce se rencontre au Guyana, au Brésil, au Venezuela et en Guyane . Classe Arachnida Habitat Ordre Araneae Elle vit dans la forêt tropicale humide. Sous-ordre Mygalomorphae Famille Theraphosidae Description Genre Theraphosa C'est la plus grande espèce de mygale découverte à ce jour avec 30 cm 3 4 Nom binominal d'envergure, pour un poids de 120 à 130 grammes , voire 170 grammes Theraphosa blondi Elle est de couleur marron, la coloration varie à l'approche d'une mue, ou juste (Latreille, 1804) après celle-ci. On la reconnaît facilement à sa taille hors du commun et son céphalothorax, qui, contrairement à celui des autres mygales, est parfaitement Synonymes rond. Délivré par des crochets de 2 cm, son venin est neurotoxique mais peu actif sur Mygale blondii Latreille, 1804 Theraphosa blondi l'être humain. Néanmoins, la taille et la force des crochets provoqueront une Mygale leblondii Hahn, 1832 forte douleur en cas de morsure. Theraphosa leblondi (Hahn, 1832) Vivant en milieu humide, cette araignée creuse son terrier profondément dans le sol ou utilise un terrier abandonné. Elle chasse à l'affût, au sol, et n'est active que la nuit. Les femelles ont une espérance de vie de 6 à 15 ans (record de 28 ans en élevage). Les mâles de 3 à 6 ans. La ponte est de 100 à 400 œufs avec une maturation de moins de deux mois. La stridulation peut servir à la reproduction, la femelle choisissant, en général, le mâle dont le chant est le plus puissant, mais elle sert également à éloigner un mâle rival (production de « combats de chant » entre mâles grillons pour la domination d'une hauteur, d'une branche, etc.) Nourriture Theraphosa blondi Jeune, elle mange des insectes de tailles variées, même plus gros qu'elle (blattes, grillons, criquets) ; adulte, elle se nourrit de tout ce qu'elle peut attraper (Oiseaux, insectes, grenouilles, petits mammifères, voire des serpents). Étymologie Cette espèce a été nommée par Pierre André Latreille en 1804 en l'honneur de Jean-Baptiste Leblond qui l'a découvert. Les Anglais la nomment Goliath birdeater (Goliath mangeuse d'oiseaux). Theraphosa blondi En captivité Cette espèce se rencontre en terrariophilie. Theraphosa blondi dans la culture Cette mygale est l'héroïne du film Arachnophobie en 1990. Dans l'épisode 3 de la saison 4 de Warehouse 13, les agents recherchent un petit jeton de bois bleu et blanc frappé d'un 8, de Plantação, boa vista. BRASIL. et d'un palmier se transformant en mygale. Ce jeton à la capacité de reproduire les effets d'une envenimation par morsure de Theraphosa blondi, sur toute personne ayant été en contact avec le jeton.

  • Reproductive Biology of Uruguayan Theraphosids (Araneae, Mygalomorphae)
    2002. The Journal of Arachnology 30:571±587 REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF URUGUAYAN THERAPHOSIDS (ARANEAE, MYGALOMORPHAE) Fernando G. Costa: Laboratorio de EtologõÂa, EcologõÂa y EvolucioÂn, IIBCE, Av. Italia 3318, Montevideo, Uruguay. E-mail: [email protected] Fernando PeÂrez-Miles: SeccioÂn EntomologõÂa, Facultad de Ciencias, Igua 4225, 11400 Montevideo, Uruguay ABSTRACT. We describe the reproductive biology of seven theraphosid species from Uruguay. Species under study include the Ischnocolinae Oligoxystre argentinense and the Theraphosinae Acanthoscurria suina, Eupalaestrus weijenberghi, Grammostola iheringi, G. mollicoma, Homoeomma uruguayense and Plesiopelma longisternale. Sexual activity periods were estimated from the occurrence of walking adult males. Sperm induction was described from laboratory studies. Courtship and mating were also described from both ®eld and laboratory observations. Oviposition and egg sac care were studied in the ®eld and laboratory. Two complete cycles including female molting and copulation, egg sac construction and emer- gence of juveniles were reported for the ®rst time in E. weijenberghi and O. argentinense. The life span of adults was studied and the whole life span was estimated up to 30 years in female G. mollicoma, which seems to be a record for spiders. A comprehensive review of literature on theraphosid reproductive biology was undertaken. In the discussion, we consider the lengthy and costly sperm induction, the widespread display by body vibrations of courting males, multiple mating strategies of both sexes and the absence of sexual cannibalism. Keywords: Uruguayan tarantulas, sexual behavior, sperm induction, life span Theraphosids are the largest and longest- PeÂrez-Miles et al. (1993), PeÂrez-Miles et al. lived spiders of the world.

Rodovia MGT 367, km 583, 39100-000 Diamantina, MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] 3 Corresponding author. ABSTRACT. Urticating setae are exclusive to New World tarantulas and are found in approximately 90% of the New World species. Six morphological types have been proposed and, in several species, two morphological types can be found in the same individual. In the past few years, there has been growing concern to learn more about urticating setae, but many questions still remain unanswered. After studying individuals from several theraphosid species, we endeavored to find more about the segregation of the different types of setae into different abdominal regions, and the possible existence of patterns; the morphological variability of urticating setae types and their limits; whether there is variability in the length of urticating setae across the abdominal area; and whether spiders use different types of urticat- ing setae differently. We found that the two types of urticating setae, which can be found together in most theraphosine species, are segregated into distinct areas on the spider’s abdomen: type III occurs on the median and posterior areas with either type I or IV surrounding the patch of type III setae.

Uetz Department of Biological Sciences, M . L. #006 University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio 45221 USA ABSTRACT Two species of New World theraphosid ; Theraphosa leblondi from French Guiana, and Megaphobema sp . from Ecuador incorporate abdominal setae into silk constructs . Theraphosa incorporates setae into the egg sacs and the silk mats on which they molt . Megaphobema sp . includes them in the egg sacs only . The setae used in the egg sacs by both these spiders are from the lateral region of the abdomens, the setae which Theraphosa uses in the silk mat are from the lateral and posterior regions . All abdominal regions tested on Theraphosa had urticating hairs present . To test the possible benefits of this behavior, the egg sacs and silk mats were tested for urticarial effect . The egg sacs failed to elicit any urticarial response in either humans or two species of mouse (Mus musculus and Peromyscus sp .) . Egg sac material with or without setae was found to be an effective barrier to the larvae of the fly Megaselia scalaris . The silk mats of T leblondi were found to be more effective at stopping the movement of M. scalaris larvae than theraphosid silk which lacked them . INTRODUCTION Urticating setae have been well documented in both the larval and adult instars of lepidopterous insects, particularly those in the family Saturniidae .

  • Caught Goliath Birdeater Spiders (Theraphosa Blondi) and Chilean Rose Spiders (Grammostola Rosea)
    Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 38(2): 245–251, 2007 Copyright 2007 by American Association of Zoo Veterinarians HEMOLYMPH BIOCHEMISTRY REFERENCE RANGES FOR WILD- CAUGHT GOLIATH BIRDEATER SPIDERS (THERAPHOSA BLONDI) AND CHILEAN ROSE SPIDERS (GRAMMOSTOLA ROSEA) Trevor T. Zachariah, D.V.M., Mark A. Mitchell, D.V.M., Ph.D., Clare M. Guichard, and Rimme S. Singh, B.A. Abstract: Theraphosid spiders have become increasingly popular for private and public uses in the United States. However, little is known about their physiology from a medical standpoint. This study represents the first attempt to establish reference hemolymph values for two common species of theraphosids, the goliath birdeater spider (Theraphosa blondi) and the Chilean rose spider (Grammostola rosea). Eleven T. blondi and twelve G. rosea, all wild-caught subadults, were obtained after importation and hemolymph was collected for biochemical analysis. After 8 wk of captivity, hemolymph was again collected from the spiders and analyzed. The biochemical analytes measured in the study included aspartate transferase, creatine kinase, glucose, total protein, albumin, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, potassium, and sodium. The osmolality of the hemolymph was estimated for each spider using two different formulae. There were significant differences in body weight, sodium, potassium, and osmolality between the sampling times for both species. There were also significant differences in creatine kinase, calcium, total protein, and blood urea nitrogen between sampling periods for T. blondi. The results of this study suggest that serial hemolymph samples may be used to assess the hydration status of theraphosid spiders. In addition, the differences in hemolymph analytes between spiders suggest that there may be differences between species that should be addressed in future studies.

  • Tarantulas Is a Notoriously Confusing Issue Especially When the Systematics of Tarantulas Is Constantly Under Review by the Experts
    1 TAXONOMY 1.1 Nomenclature Class: Arachnida Order: Araneae Family: Theraphosidae Genus: commonly kept species from the following: Avicularia, Brachypelma, Citharishchius, Lasiodora, Nhandu, Phrixotrichus (Grammastola), Poecilotheria, Psalmopoeus and Theraphosa Species: including A.avicularia, B.smithi, C.crawshayi, L.parahybana, N.carapoensis, P. (G) pulchra, Poecilotheria regalis, Psalmopoeus irminia and T.blondi 1.2 Common Names The naming of tarantulas is a notoriously confusing issue especially when the systematics of tarantulas is constantly under review by the experts. See. Bonnet (1945-51), Roewer (1942), Brignoli (1983), Raven (1985), Smith (1984, 85, 87) and Platnick 1989). Common names are often created by animal traders and generally reflect colouration and habitat. Often they can be quite exotic like ‘Venezuelan Tiger Tarantula’ or ‘Giant Pinkstarburst Tarantula’ and are meant to sell spiders. They are prone to error when a species has a wide range of colour or habitat variants, Phrixotrichus spatulata, or the Chilean Flame, Chilean Rose or Chiliean Redback Tarantula is an example (Schultz 1998). 2 Natural History While amongst the most famous of the spiders tarantulas remain the least studied. Much work has been done on the systematics of Theraphosidae: Bonnet (1945-61), Brignoli (1983), Raven (1985) Smith (1984-88) and Platnick (1989). Captive behaviour including incubation times and egg numbers: Galiano (1973), Baerg (1958), Bucherl (1971) and Perret (1974); growth and development: Celerier (1981 & 1988), Baerg (1928) and Buchli (1970); and adult life cycles: Dresco-Derouet (1970) and Celerier (1981). Other studies have been done on urticating hairs (Stradling 1978) and venom toxicity Ori (1982) and Ibister. (2002). Outside the lab very few extensive behavioural studies have been conducted.

To increase the number of lead candidates, here we discuss a phylogeny-guided approach for the rational selection of venomous taxa, using tarantulas (family Theraphosidae) as a case study. We found that previous biodiscovery programs have prioritized the three subfamilies Ornithoctoninae, Selenocosmiinae, and Theraphosinae, which provide almost all of the toxin sequences currently available in public databases. The remaining subfamilies are poorly represented, if at all. These overlooked subfamilies include several that form entire clades of the theraphosid life tree, such as the subfamilies Eumenophorinae, Harpactirinae, and Stromatopelminae, indicating that biodiversity space has not been covered effectively for venom biodiscovery in Theraphosidae. Focusing on these underrepresented taxa will increase the likelihood that promising candidates with novel structures and mechanisms of action can be identified in future bioprospecting programs.

  • Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula Class: Arachnida
    Theraphosa blondi Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula Class: Arachnida. Order: Araneae. Family: Therasphosidae. Other names: Giant Bird-eating spider, Giant Tarantula, Goliath Birdeater Physical Description: This Amazonian spider is the second largest spider in the world, second only to the giant huntsman spider. It has a leg span of 12 inches across, about the size of a small dinner plate and weigh up to 6oz making it the largest spider by mass. Like all tarantulas, it is a very hairy spider and the hairs are actually hollow bristles that are produced as part of their exoskeleton. Their bodies are made up of two external parts; the cephalothorax (fused head and thorax, where legs attach) and their abdomen. They have weak eyesight, their eight eyes only seeing differences in the level of light. Diet in the Wild: Insects, frogs, small snakes, lizards, rodents, bats, and (although rarely) young birds. Diet at the Zoo: Mice and crickets Habitat & Range: Northern South America in swamps/marshy areas deep within the primary rainforest. Life Span: For females, 15-25 years. The males will only live one year or less after mating. Perils in the wild: Predators include spider wasps, some snakes, and other tarantulas. Smaller insects can take advantage of a freshly molted tarantula. Physical Adaptations: With their inch long fangs, the tarantula will inject venom that works on the nervous system which paralyzes its smaller victims. They then regurgitate digestive juices secreted from openings in the chelicerae onto their victims that break down soft tissue. The spider is then able to suck up its prey.
