New specimens of the genus Hapalotremus (Theraphosinae) are
revised based on the examination of types and additional material
collected in Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. A new generic diagnosis is
proposed. New information and illustrations are provided for
known species and seven new species were recognized and are
newly described and illustrated. Hence, Hapalotremus comprises
10 valid species, distributed along the Andes and Yungas in western South America. All species are keyed and mapped. New
taxonomic features are included in the descriptions and the detail
of embolus keels morphology and positions are described for the
first time for the genus. Information on species habitat is included.
The highest altitude record for a Theraphosidae spider, living at
4524 m above sea level, is reported.
