	Phoneutria nigriventer (Keyserling, 1891)
		Phoneutria differs from other genus in the family Ctenidae by a thick comb of hairs on the lateral edge and ventral part of the pedipalps.
		Phoneutria also differs from other ctenids by its unique warning display - the body and the two first legpair are kept vertical and then the spider rock from side to side horizontally.
		Phoneutria are nice and interesting spiders to keep in captivity, if you have a long experience in keeping fast and aggressive spiders.

		We studied temporal variation in adult size and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) of seven hunting spider species, Ctenus amphora, C. crulsi, C. manauara, C. villasboasi (Ctenidae), Phoneutria fera, P. reidyi (Ctenidae), and Ancylometes rufus (Pisauridae) in a tropical rainforest, and one species from a relatively open vegetation habitat, C.

		We suggest that selection for high mobility may be the reason for adult males with longer legs, and that the smaller species had higher degrees of sexual dimorphism in leg length because of the relative size of obstacles in the leaf litter.

	Re: What is the most posionous spider in the world?
		At present most seem to be leaning toward the South American Phoneutria fera (Ctenidae), with the Australian Atrax robustus (Dipluridae) second.
		Spiders in the genus Sicarius (Sicariidae) are also in the running, but as few people ever come into contact with these odd spiders from the South American deserts they have not acquired the notoriety that the others have.
		The fl widows and violin spiders are further back in the list, with other species of Atrax and Phoneutria probably ahead of them.

	Re: is the Sydney funnel web spider the most poisonous spider in the world
		In a recent debate on the Arachno-l news group most seem to be leaning toward the South American Ctenid Spider, Phoneutria fera (Ctenidae), with the Sidney Funnelweb Tarantula (not to be confused with our funnelweb spiders in the family Agelenidae), Atrax robustus (Dipluridae) second.
		Keep in mind that the ranking is to some extent arbitrary, as we are comparing neurotoxic and necrotic venoms and also that a very potent venom may be delivered in small amounts, while a less potent venom may be delivered in massive quantities.
		References: Australian Insect and Spider Bites: http://www.usyd.edu.au/su/anaes/spiders.html Unfortunately, there are few good references on P. fera.

		In fact this is the species that gets often mixed up with Phoneutria, as this Cupiennius species has a quite distinctive feature, that´s famous for Phoneutria, red chelicerae hairs.
		The spider you’re showing on your site about the “Brazilian wandering spider” and stating it is Phoneutria fera, is NOT Phoneutria at all, it’s exactly that C.
		We suspect that it is a Wandering Ctenidae, perhaps Phoneutria fera from South Brasil, or something similar.

	Re: Large Agressive Spiders,please help me identify them.
		Try looking up Cupiennis salei, and Phoneutria fera (not likely this one tho, but take a look at a picture to see if it is at all similar.
		The picture is of an unidentified Ctenid, possibly a Phoneutria fera, (which is highly venomous!!) but it is certainly a Ctenid wandering spider.
		Most of the Ctenids have a bad bite, whether they are really dangerous or not, so even if it isn't a P.fera, the bite is to be avoided.

	Briton bitten by tropical spider saved by camera phone (Picture)
		The spider accompanying the story is a mexican pinkleg tarantula, a relatively docile spider that is easy to raise and nondangerous (bites but no venom).
		The photo in post #22 is a generic pic of what the story calls the "wandering brazilian spider", properly known as Phoneutria fera, also called a "banana spider" because it lives amongst banana leaves and agricultural workers are most often bitten.
		Ounce for ounce the phoneutria has probably the deadliest toxin of any spider, but it is not considered a highly aggressive spider, preferring to hide.

		I have attracted the attention of the Brazilian and Perusian governments, and not just because of my irresistible good looks and finely styled leg hair.
		The time has come for this Phoneutria Fera to flee and, alliteration aside, the prospect is a fearsome one.
		My first thought is to board a banana boat and try to slip into the United States unnoticed, perhaps to hang out at the bars with the gringos in the south, but alas it is impossible.
