Phlogiellus is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1897.^[4] They are found throughout Asia and Papua New Guinea, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, China, Myanmar, Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, the Solomon Islands and Taiwan. Phlogiellus is part Latin and part Greek, the first part being "φλóξ φλoγóϛ", meaning flame, the second part being "ellus" which is a latin diminutive suffix.^[5]

Diagnosis

The can be distinguished thanks to the scopulae on tarsi 1 and 4, which were divided. There is also a stridulating organ present but reduced. They also own thin and elongated chelicerate strikers, which are pallid in color. Their size is also smaller than most other tarantulas.^[5]

Species

As of July 2022^[update] it contains twenty-six species and one subspecies, found in Asia, on the Solomon Islands, and in Papua New Guinea:^[1]
