N.B.: the Trichopelmatinae (genera
Trichopelma and
Psalistops) considered to belong to the Theraphosidae rather than to Barychelidae by
Raven, 1994: 333, but no phylogenetic argument is provided for this change;
Trichopelma was finally transferred to the Theraphosidae (
Guadanucci, 2014: 514) as well as
Psalistops (
Mori & Bertani, 2020: 37), so in fact Trichopelmatinae is now transferred to Theraphosidae; the family is not monophyletic per
Kulkarni, Wood & Hormiga, 2023: 487, f. 5.
