About

Pamphobeteus nigricolor was described by Ausserer in 1875 as Lasiodora nigricolor and moved by Pocock in 1901 to the genus Pamphobeteus, of which it is the type species. It occurs in rainforest from Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru as far as Amazonas state in Brazil. It has stridulatory organs on the third and fourth pairs of legs and defends itself by flicking urticating hairs. It digs silk-lined burrows on the ground and will also adopt existing cavities. Although nocturnal, it also leaves its retreat by day to hunt. When disturbed it first tries to flee, but if pressed it responds with a threat posture, stridulation and then a barrage of urticating hairs. Juveniles have a red abdomen with a black christmas-tree marking down the centre, a feature shared with related species and therefore not diagnostic. Females live 10-15 years.
