Sumario:Abstract. Based on molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses a new genus of Theraphosidae is described, Pseudoclamorisgen. n.Tapinaucheniusgigas and Tapinaucheniuselenae are transferred to Pseudoclamoris and a new species of Pseudoclamoris from the Amazon Region is described: P.burgessisp. n. Two new species of Tapinauchenius from the Caribbean are described: T.rastisp. n. and T.polybotessp. n.Tapinaucheniussubcaeruleus is considered a nomen dubium. Psalmopoeinae subfamily is diagnosed based on molecular and morphological phylogenies, and Pseudoclamorisgen. n. and Ephebopus Simon, 1892 are included. A taxonomic key for Psalmopoeinae genera Tapinauchenius, Pseudoclamoris, Psalmopoeus, and Ephebopus is provided.
