Phlogiellus is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1897.[4] They are found throughout Asia and Papua New Guinea, including Indonesia, the Philippines , Papua New Guinea, China , Myanmar, Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, the Solomon Islands and Taiwan. Phlogiellus is part Latin and part Greek, the first part being "φλóξ φλoγóϛ", meaning flame, the second part being "ellus" which is a latin diminutive suffix.[5]
Diagnosis
The can be distinguished thanks to the scopulae on tarsi 1 and 4, which were divided. There is also a stridulating organ present but reduced. They also own thin and elongated chelicerate strikers, which are pallid in color. Their size is also smaller than most other tarantulas.[5]
