List of Theraphosidae species
The family Theraphosidae is divided up into 12 subfamilies, as follows. In 2003, the genus Spelopelma was subsumed into the genus Hemirrhagus, thus subsuming the subfamily Spelopelminae into Theraphosinae.
Acanthopelminae
Acanthopelminae, first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1897, is a subfamily of small, terrestrial New World tarantulas. This sub-family has only one genus, Acanthopelma, and two species, A. beccarri and A. rufescens, found in Guyana and Central America.
Acanthopelma (F. O. P.-Cambridge, 1897)
Aviculariinae
Aviculariinae are a subfamily of tropical, tree-dwelling New World tarantulas. They range from the Caribbean to South America. Species from the genus Avicularia are commonly known as "pinktoe" tarantulas. Note: West et al., 2008 consider the genera Heteroscodra, Psalmopoeus and Stromatopelma as members of the subfamily Aviculariinae[1].

Harpactirinae
Main article:
Harpactirinae
Harpactirinae is a group of old-world tarantulas from Africa, though smaller than Eumenophorinae. They are known as baboon spiders for their hairy legs and the thick black scopulae at the end of their feet, which are said to resemble baboons.

Ornithoctoninae
The earth tigers of subfamily Ornithoctoninae are a group of old-world tarantulas which are found primarily in Southeast Asia, southern China, and Borneo. This group includes the infamous Chinese bird spider, and species in this sub-family are known for being ill-tempered.

Poecilotheriinae
Poecilotheriinae are tree spiders from India and Sri Lanka, some of which are considered endangered. This sub-family contains only a single genus.
Poecilotheria Simon, 1885
- Poecilotheria fasciata (Latreille, 1804) — Sri Lanka
- Poecilotheria formosa Pocock, 1899 — India

- Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli Smith, 2006 — India

P. formosa is the same species as P. nallamalaiensis. P. formosa was described by Pocock in 1899, while P. nallamalaiensis was described by Rao et al. in 2006, making P. formosa the older name and thus the senior synonym, and the valid name. GABRIEL, R. 2010. Poecilotheria nallamalaiensis Rao et al., 2006, a junior synonym of Poecilotheria formosa Pocock, 1899 As found in world spider catalog. http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/catalog/THERAPHOSIDAE.html
Poecilotheria Uniformis is believed to be extinct. A live specimen hasn't been sighted since it's discovery by Strand 1913, in Sri Lanka. The species is only known by the single specimen brought back from that expedition. It has since been bleached from nearly 100 years of "preservation" in alcohol.
Selenocosmiinae
Selenocosmiinae. This subfamily consists mainly of tarantulas from East Asia and Australia. Like the East Asian tarantulas in Ornithoctoninae, these are known for their strong venom and defensive disposition. Species of the genus Psalmopoeus do not have urticating hairs, unusual among New World species.
