Philippine Tangerine Tarantula
Selenobrachys philippinus
Selenobrachys philippinus, known as the Philippine tangerine, Philippine orange, or neon orange tarantula is a species of tarantula (family Theraphosidae). It is native to the Philippines. It was described in 1999, by Günter Schmidt, as Selenobrachys philippinus; in 2012, Rick West, Steven Nunn and Henry Hogg made the genus Selenobrachys a junior synonym of Orphnaecus, but in 2025 it was re-classified into its own genus by Acuña, et al.
