A visually appealing text which I found available as a pdf this book is a great read for fans of Mygalomorphae. The book contains:
· illustrated keys to identify families, subfamilies, genera and where possible species
· diagnostic and descriptive characters for each family, subfamily and genus
· taxonomic and natural history notes for each genus
· a complete species list with maps to illustrate their distribution· notes on conservation and toxicity
· and an extensive bibliography.
The author, Dr Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman, is a professional arachnologist and head of the Spider Research Centre in the Biosystematics Division of the Plant Protection Research Institute, Agricultural Research Council, Pretoria, South Africa. She has devoted her entire career, spanning more than 30 years, to the study of Afrotropical spiders, both from a biological and a taxonomic perspective. This pdf will be of interest to Australian tarantula enthusiasts and of course to those located elsewhere that actually have access to these very interesting species.
