Bumba is a genus of tarantula native to the Americas. It is an uncommon genus, comprising eight known species, including one named after John Lennon.[1] Like most related species in the subfamily Theraphosinae, they may flick urticating hairs in response to threats.

Diagnosis

They can be distinguished by the type 5 urticating hairs, and the palpal bulb resting in a "ventral distal excavation" of the pedipalp's tibia. The metatarsus number 1 passes between two branches of the tibial apophysis when flexed and the presence of spine like hairs on the maxillae and coxae 1 through 4.[2]

Taxonomy

The genus was first described in 2000 by Fernando Pérez-Miles under the name Iracema; however this name was already in use for a genus of freshwater fish, so in 2005, Pérez-Miles proposed the replacement name Maraca. However, this too was already in use (for a species of cockroach) and in 2014 the replacement name Bumba was put forward by Pérez-Miles, Bonaldo & Miglio.[1]

Etymology

The genus name, Bumba, refers to Brazilian folk theater; in the Northern Brazilian region where the spiders are found, there is a festival called Boi-bumbá, or "beat my bull".[1]

Species
