Lasiodora

	Lasiodora ''Lasiodora'' is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1850. They are often very large; body lengths of up to , including the legs, are not unusual. They are found in South America, including the countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Argentina and Uruguay. Diagnosis This genus can be distinguished from other tarantulas by the presence of hairs used for stridulation on the upper area of the coxae of leg 1 and 2. Males also own a triangular keel below the apex of the palpal bulb, females also have a sclerotized (hardened by sclerotin) area between the two sections of the spermathecae. Species it contains thirty-three species, found in Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Costa Rica: '' Lasiodora acanthognatha'' Mello-Leitão, 1921 – Brazil '' Lasiodora benedeni'' Bertkau, 1880 – Brazil '' Lasiodora boliviana'' (Simon, 1892) – Bolivia '' Lasiodora brevibulba'' (Valerio, 1980) – Costa Rica '' Lasiodora carinat ...

The term "tarantula" is usually used to describe members of the family Theraphosidae, although many other members of the same infraorder (Mygalomorphae) are commonly referred to as "tarantulas" or "false tarantulas".
