Melloleitaoina crassifemur is a species of theraphosine theraphosid spider. It is native to Argentina.[1]
Taxonomic history
In 1960, Berta Gerschman de Pikelin and Rita Schiapelli described this species as Melloleitaoina crassifemur, which was excepted until 1993, when Gunter Schmidt changed the name to Dryptopelma crassifemur, but was restored by Fernando Pérez-Miles in 1996. This is still excepted as of February 2016.[1]
Characteristics
M. crassifemur is only known from the male. It is characterized by a very curved embolus without any triangular tooth. The prolateral inferior embolar keel is just as long as the prolateral superior and the apex of the embolus is widened.[2]
