South African Genera

[Ceratogyrus]

After having a discussion on a Facebook page with someone regarding the differences between the bristles on the chelicerae of Harpactira compared to other Southern African Genera, I snapped a quick few pictures. Harpactira have the bristles on the outside and inside of the chelicerae, while Augacephalus, Ceratogyrus, Idiothele, Pterinochilus only have on the outside. Harpactirella don't have them at all. I learnt something new even though I have been keeping them for years, although I've never really been into the scientific side, more the behavior side of baboon spiders.
