Type species: Bonnetina cyaneifemur Vol, 2000 (by monotypy) Diagnosis (emended): Bonnetina differs from all Theraphosidae genera by the adult males having a patch of granules in the basal ventro-retrolateral region of metatarsus I and three tibial apophyses (e.g. Fig. 12I, J). Characterization: Theraphosinae spider that has a single patch of type III urticating hairs on the central to posterior regions of the abdomen. Abdomen without trace of transversal colour bands. Retrolateral side of femora IV covered by a pad of ciliate hairs. Stridulatory apparatus absent. Adult males have a patch of granules in the basal ventro-retrolateral region of metatarsus I and three tibial apophyses (accessory apophysis poorly developed in some species); they bear a retrolateral nodule on the pedipalpal tibia, and pedipalpal bulbs with at least PS, PI and SP keels.
