About Tliltocatl kahlenbergi (Rudloff, 2008)
Tliltocatl kahlenbergi is a relatively small species within its genus. For mature males, three measured individuals had total body lengths ranging from 32 mm to 34 mm; females grow larger, with one measured individual reaching a body length of 41 mm. The fourth leg of this species is the longest, reaching up to 58 mm in males and around 49 mm in females. Its body is generally dark overall, and has a relatively dense covering of red hairs on the abdomen and legs, unlike the closely related similar species T. schroederi, which has more sparse red hairs. The carapace of T. kahlenbergi is variable in color, and can appear quite bright. Like T. schroederi, this species produces fewer but larger eggs than most other related species, and its resulting spiderlings are correspondingly larger in size. Tliltocatl kahlenbergi was originally described from captive specimens, which were reportedly collected from the area around Veracruz, Mexico. Like other related species, it lives in burrows dug into the ground.
