About

Ybyrapora diversipes was described by C. L. Koch in 1842 and was long known as Avicularia diversipes. In 2017 Fukushima and Bertani separated three species from Avicularia on morphological and distributional grounds and erected the genus Ybyrapora, to which this species was moved; the genus name comes from Tupi and means tree dweller. Members of the genus are smaller than most aviculariines, females have strongly curved and almost non-sclerotised spermathecae, and the tibial apophysis on the first leg is absent or small. Colour changes markedly with maturity: immatures show a central reddish mark with jagged edges along the abdomen, surrounded by a dark area connected to dark transverse stripes, and these patterns become duller or disappear in adults, particularly females. The species is recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest between Bahia and the south of Rio de Janeiro.
