Phlogiodes is a genus of spiders in the tarantula family Theraphosidae, found in India. As of January 2025[update], a single species is accepted, Phlogiodes validus.[1] The species has been transferred back and forth between Phlogiodes and Haploclastus.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus Phlogiodes was erected by Reginald Pocock in 1899. He described two species, Phlogiodes validus from a male specimen and Phlogiodes robustus from a female specimen. He considered the male and female to be too different to be the same species.[3] In 1985, Robert Raven sank Phlogiodes into Haploclastus.[4] In 2010, Pocock's two Phlogiodes species were synonymized and transferred to Haploclastus as Haploclastus validus.[5] In 2013, H. validus was restored to Phlogiodes, the placement accepted by the World Spider Catalog as of January 2025[update].[1] In 2024, the species was again placed in Haploclastus.[2]
