Treatment

Aranea hirtipes Fabricius, 1787: 346, 1793: 428; Latreille 1806: 83 (under Mygale avicularia ); Hahn 1833: 10 (under Mygale avicularia ); Walckenaer 1837: 212 (under Mygale versicolor ); World Spider Catalog 2016 (under Avicularia versicolor ).

Mygale hirtipes : C. L. Koch 1836: 38.

Eurypelma hirtipes : C. L. Koch 1850: 74.

Avicularia hirtipes : Bonnet 1955: 831.

Remarks.

Considered synonym of Mygale avicularia by Latreille (1806) and Hahn (1833) as well as of Mygale versicolor by Walckenaer (1837). Although very uninformative, the description shows an eye disposition that suggests this species is not a mygalomorph spider. Thus, we considered Araneus hirtipes (Fabricius, 1787) nomen dubium.
