Ischnocolus is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.[2] This tarantula genus includes some of the smallest in the family.[3]
Diagnosis
Males of this genus can be distinguished by the palpal bulb morphology, which owns a slightly bent apical end. Females can be distinguished by the morphology of the spermatheca, which is made up of two twisted receptacles.[3]
