Harmonicon oyapoquae (Devil Curtain Web Spider) for Sale (unsexed)
Devil Curtain Web Spider Ref: EOL Harmonicon is a genus of South American curtain web spiders that was first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1896.
Reference from National Library of Medicine –
The genus Harmonicon F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1896 was established on the basis of a single juvenile specimen with the type species Harmonicon rufescens F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1896 from Santarem, Brazil. Raven (1985) considered Harmonicon a junior synonym of Diplura C.L. Koch, 1850 because both genera possess a lyra consisting of few modified bristles on the prolateral side of the maxillae. Maréchal and Marty (1998) rejected this synonymy on the basis of the shape of the lyra bristles that differ between the two genera and a different leg formula, and they described an additional species: Harmonicon audeae Maréchal & Marty, 1998.
