[2] They can be distinguished from other tarantulas by the lack of stridulating hairs on the prolateral side of coxa 1 and in the palpal bulb.
By the absence of scopula on the side of femur 1, and metatarsus 1 closing between the male spur branches.
[3] As of December 2023[update] it contains eleven species, found in Argentina and Brazil:[1] Data related to Vitalius at Wikispecies
