List of Theraphosidae species
This is a list of species within the family Theraphosidae. These are tarantulas, large spiders. This family is divided up into 10 subfamilies, as follows:
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] Species of the genus Psalmopoeus and Tapinauchenius do not have urticating hairs, unusual among New World species.[2]

Brachionopus (Pocock, 1897)
To quote Platnick's World Spider Catalog v. 12.5,[3] "N.B.: transferred here from the Barychelidae by Raven, 1985a: 112; Brachyonopus is an unjustified emendation; Raven's transfer was not accepted by Charpentier, 1993: 5 or Schmidt, 2002a: 12 and 2008: 3, who nevertheless identified no close relatives of the genus among the known barychelids; Gallon, 2002: 204 argued for its inclusion in the Barychelidae but indicated that it "does not fit in any current barychelid subfamily" but later (Gallon, 2010b: 79) considered it a harpactirine.".
In other words, it's taxonomy is in dispute and the many recent workers do not consider it a theraphosid. All are found in South Africa.

New World
Some authors still treat this genus as belonging to its own subfamily Acanthopelminae (the grammatically correct spelling would actually be Acanthopelmatinae). However, Rudloff 2001 abolished the subfamily and transferred Acanthopelma to Ischnocolinae (also transferring one former species to the family Barychelidae). Ischnocolinae, with both New World and Old World genera, is an unstable polyphyletic taxon and requires further work, but for now I have moved Acanthopelma to Ischnocolinae following Rudloff.[4]
