Grammostola subvulpina (Strand, 1906) comb. n.

Avicularia subvulpina Strand, 1906a: 22 (holotype male, no further information, MWNH 362, examined by photo); 1907j: 233; Mello-Leitão 1923: 377; Petrunkevitch 1939: 288; Roewer 1942: 254; Bonnet 1955: 833; World Spider Catalog 2016.

Remarks.

A specimen that fits Strand’s (1906a) description was found in Wiesbaden collection and is, herein, considered as the holotype. The male resembles a characteristic Grammostola Simon, 1892 species from Brazil. Thus, we transfer Avicularia subvulpina to Grammostola , making the new combination Grammostola subvulpina (Strand, 1906) comb. n.
