Devicarina is a genus of spiders in the family Theraphosidae.[2]
Distribution

[edit]The genus name is a combination of Latin devius "inconsistent" and carina "keel", referring to the morphology of this genus' palpal bulb, which is strongly different from related genus Hapalopus.[1]
D. akroa honors the Akroá people. D. guidonae is named after French-Brazilian archaeologist Niède Guidon (1933–2025).[3]
