Sericopelma Embrithes
Sericopelma embrithes is a tarantula that is native to Panama. To date, only specimens from Barro Colorado Island have been studied. Like other tarantulas, it is relatively large compared to other spiders. It can grow up to 59 mm long, including its chelicerae. S. embrithes is data deficient according to the IUCN.

Habitat and Ecology
Sericopelma Embrithes inhabit the tropical, moist lowland heavily forested Barro Colorado Island. The Island typically receives about 2,623 mm of rainfall per year with average daily temperatures reaching 32℃[3]. The area experiences both a dry season (occurring between December and April) with average rainfall only totaling to 285 mm and a wet season (between December and May)[3].

Though localized to the Barro Colorado Island, S. Embrithes may have previously had an area range that extended farther into areas that were damaged or destroyed by the effects of the Chagres River damming during the construction of the Panama Canal [4]. The damming redirected river flow which consequently caused flooding, permanently destroying parts of the area [4]. Another disturbance that likely may have influenced S. Embrithes localization is the deforestation that occurred prior to the declaration of the island [5]. However, since its establishment as a biological reserve in 1923 there have been no major reported disturbances to the habitat[4].
