Avicularia braunshauseni
The division of living beings into systematics is a continuous subject of research. The term treated here has become obsolete due to recent research and cannot be reliably assigned to any taxon . The cause can be lost original material (type material) or the material used for the first scientific description lacks identifying features in order to clearly differentiate it from similar types.
Avicularia braunshauseni ( noun dubium ) was the name of a South American tarantula species . It was named after Andre Braunshausen , who discovered it on the edge of a path near Santarem in northern Brazil . Today the species status is questioned because it cannot be scientifically verifieddue to the loss of the holotype . This term is still common among terrarium owners.
