title: Selenogyrinae
text: # Selenogyrinae
  
  The Selenogyrinae are a subfamily of tarantulas found in Africa and Asia.
  
  ## Characteristics
  
  The Selenogyrinae are characterized by a unique stridulating organ situated between the chelicerae, which consists of two very similar rows of hair. In Annandaliella, this is reduced. Some species have labiosternal mounds and the clypeus is usually absent, or very narrow.
  
  ## Genera
  
  The WSC currently accepts these genera:
  
  * Annandaliella, Hirst 1909
  * Euphrictus, Hirst 1908
  * Selenogyrus, Pocock 1897
  
  Selenogyrus and Euphrictus were the original genera in Hirst's 1908 Selenogyrinae. Annandaliella was added by Schmidt in 1993.
