31, see text Chilobrachys is a genus of Asian tarantulas that was first described by Ferdinand Anton Franz Karsch in 1892.

[2] They are found in India, Myanmar, Malaysia, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Sri Lanka.

Males have a palpal bulb which ends in a long and slender blade like spine, females have one pair of spermatheca.

[3] No tarantula is considered deadly, but Chilobrachys have maybe the most potent venom, aside from Poecilotheria.

[citation needed] Some cases have been reported where bites by Chilobrachys hardwickei resulted in gangrene and unconfirmed death.
