Genus of spiders
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.
