A research paper published in 2022 describes a spider that is unique among all other tarantula genera. This spider has a reduced and shallow apical keel, and its tibia and metatarsus of the fourth leg do not have dense tufts of bristle-like hairs. Additionally, the spider produces sound by stridulating with its maxillae, which have lyra hairs resembling a scimitar. However, it is important to note that this diagnosis may not apply to all Selenocosmia species since the study does not provide a comparison with all the known species.

Watch out for the fingers of this spider because they are quick and can bite. They produce a lot of webs and are typically active only at night. Due to their speed, they are recommended only for experienced keepers. However, don't worry; we have tamed this particular spider so it is safe for anyone to have as a pet.
