Lasiodora Citharacantha
''Lasiodora'' is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1850. They are often very large; body lengths of up to , including the legs, are not unusual. Diagnosis This genus can be distinguished from other tarantulas by the presence of hairs used for stridulation on the upper area of the coxae of leg 1 and 2. Males also own a triangular keel below the apex of the palpal bulb, females also have a sclerotized (hardened by sclerotin) area between the two sections of the spermathecae. Species it contains seven species, found in Brazil: *'' Lasiodora benedeni'' Bertkau, 1880 – Brazil *''Lasiodora camurujipe'' Bertani, 2023 – Brazil *''Lasiodora franciscana'' Bertani, 2023 – Brazil *''Lasiodora klugi'' (C.

Ludwig Carl Christian Koch
Ludwig Carl Christian Koch (8 November 1825 – 1 November 1908) was a German entomologist and arachnologist. He was born in Regensburg, Germany, and died in Nuremberg, Germany. He studied in Nuremberg, initially law, but then turned to medicine and science. From 1850, he practiced as a physician in the Wöhrd district of Nuremberg. He is considered among the four most influential scientists on insects and spiders in the second half of the 19th century. He wrote numerous works on the arachinoids of Europe, Siberia, and Australia. His work earned him worldwide reputation as "Spider Koch". Sometimes confused with his father Carl Ludwig Koch (1778–1857), another famous arachnologist, his name is abbreviated L.Koch on species descriptions; his father's name is abbreviated C.L.Koch Pierre Bonnet. ''Bibliographia araneorum,'' (1945) Les frères Doularoude (Toulouse). Works ''Die Arachniden Australiens'' (1871-1883), his major work on Australian spiders, was completed by Eugen von ...

They require a 10-gallon to 15 gallon enclosure as adults and juveniles can be kept in much smaller containers like critter keepers or deli cups. Substrate should be 4 to 6 inches of a mixture of dryish soil/peat/etc. They should be kept around room temperature or slightly higher. Humidity should be low, although helpful to have a water source available or mist on occasion. Feeding Generally, in captivity, the species often sold as ''D. fasciatus'' or the synonym ''Cyclostermum fasciatum'' feed upon a variety of pesticide-free insects such as locusts, crickets and cockroaches.
