Annandaliella ermakulamensis is a species of tarantula (family Theraphosidae) in the subfamily Selenogyrinae. It is native to Ermakulam, Kerala State, India.[2][3]

Etymology

The specific name of this tarantula, ermakulmensis, honors the type locality, Ermakulam.[2]

Characteristics

Annandaliella ermakulamensis has three peg-like setae on the inside of the chelicerae, a tibial comb consisting of long black setae on a tibial apophysis (i.e. a protrusion), and a long, tapering embolus without any apical keels. It is reddish brown, but on the cephalothorax it has thick dark bands radiating from the fovea, a grove in the center of the cephalothorax, to the coxae of the legs and the ocularium.[2]
