FIGURE 20 in Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of the tarantula genera Tapinauchenius Ausserer, 1871, Psalmopoeus Pocock, 1985, and Amazonius n. gen. (Theraphosidae, Psalmopoeinae)

FIGURE 20. Part of the cladogram of Luddecke et al. (2018) showing a paraphyletic Schismatothelinae as sister group of Psalmopoeinae (A). To make this clade monophyletic it should be necessary to synonymise Schismatothelinae with Psalmopoeinae (B). In this case, Psalmopoeinae and Aviculariinae will be sister groups (B) and the decision if they are two (Aviculariinae and Psalmopoeinae) or a single (Aviculariinae) subfamily is a question of personal preference.
