Distribution
[edit]Isiboroa is found in South America, with one species endemic to Bolivia, the other to Peru.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]I. sacsayhuaman was originally described as a member of genus Acanthoscurria.[2]
Homoeomma peruvianum was moved to this genus by Gabriel et al. (2023), but then also made the type species of the newly created genus Urupelma by Kaderka et al. in the same year.[3]
Species
[edit]As of October 2025[update], this genus includes two species:[2]
- Isiboroa hamelae Gabriel, Sherwood & Pérez-Miles, 2023 – Bolivia (type species)
- Isiboroa sacsayhuaman (Ferretti, Ochoa & Chaparro, 2016) – Peru
