Giant Huntsman Spiders
Heteropoda Latreille, 1804
Type species: Aranea venatoria Linnaeus, 1767
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 556
(after Davies 1994; Australian species): Thick membraneous conductor arises prolaterally on proximal tegulum of the male pedipalp and tapers to a point; it twists so that inner edge becomes outer edge distally; embolus long and filliform, arises retrolaterally on distal tegulum and curves down, across on forward to lie on outer edge of conductor. In most species, insemination ducts coil foward one or more times then fold back to run through centres of coils to spermathecae.
