Diagnosis

Grammostola pulchripes is characterized by the combination of a large body size (adult specimens of about 50–80 mm in total length), yellow golden stripes on the patella and tibia of all legs ( Figure 6 View Figure 6 ), smooth setae on the prolateral and retrolateral aspects of legs and retrolateral palpal maxillae, PB with a stiff spine and a small thorn on inner side, RB with two small spines apical.

Distribution

Previously known from Chaco (Resistencia), Catamarca, Corrientes and Formosa Provinces with no locality data ( Schiapelli and Gerschman 1961; Schmidt 1999; Gabriel 2009). In this contribution ( Figure 5E View Figure 5 ): south of Entre Ríos Province, east of Formosa, Chaco, Santiago del Estero and central and north of Santa Fé Provinces involving the regions of Espinal, Esteros del Iberá, Pampa, wet and dry Chaco. It is also present in east of Catamarca Province, central Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy, corresponding to the Yungas region ( Figure 5F View Figure 5 ).
