Abstract
The genus Onchopelma Hesse is reviewed and a key to species is given. Four new species are described and illustrated: Onchopelma brevifasciatum, sp.n., O. irwini, sp.n., O. majus, sp.n., and O. nitidum, sp.n. Seven species are currently known in the genus, which occurs only in Namibia and South Africa.References
