According to modern systematic (Norman I. Platnick, 2009 & N. Yu. Kluge. Modern systematic of Insects. Part I. St-Petersburg "Lan`", 2000) the Family Theraphosidae falls into Order Aranea (or Araneus) and comprises itself 117 Genera, united in 11-14 Subfamilies (many authors consider Poecilotheriinae being not a valid subfamily taxon and thus belonging to Selenocosmiinae; two other subfamilies proposed in 2008 by G. Schmidt - Sinurticantinae and Harpactirellinae, which are not listed here; some authors also considering genus Tapinauchenius belongs to Selenocosmiinae follow G. Schmidt) include over 900 spider species.
