Annandaliella

Annandaliella is a genus of tarantulas that was first described by A. S. Hirst in 1909.[2] As of December 2019 it contains three species endemic to India: A. ernakulamensis, A. pectinifera, and A. travancorica.[1] They are selenogyrid tarantulas, meaning they have a stridulating organ on the inner side of the chelicerae, consisting of an oblique row of five strong spines in front of several weak spines.[2]
