	abstract = {Cupiennius is a genus of hunting or wandering spiders typical of Central America including the Golfo Dulce region, which do not live in a silken web or build a web to catch prey. Instead, a prominent feature of their biology is a close association with particular dwelling plants on which they hide during the day and prey and court at night. The complex behavioural patterns of Cupiennius rely on an armament of exquisite sensors tuned to the specific needs in the spiders{\textquoteright} specific environment. After a short introduction to the taxonomy, distribution and habitat, a few examples are given to show how closely spider sensory systems mesh with spider behaviour in the natural habitat. A key for the genus Cupiennius is provided by a companion paper (BARTH \& CORDES). El g{\'e}nero Cupiennius reune a un grupo de ara{\~n}as de caza o errantes t{\'{\i}picas de Am{\'e}rica Central, incluyendo la regi{\'o}n de Golfo Dulce, que no viven en una telara{\~n}a o construyen una tela para atrapar a su presa. En su lugar, una importante caracter{\'{\i}stica de su biolog{\'{\i}a, es una estrecha asociaci{\'o}n con plantas particulares que le sirven de morada, donde se ocultan durante el d{\'{\i}a y cazan y cortejan en la noche. Los complejos patrones de comportamiento de Cupiennius dependen de una serie de extraordinarios sensores, sintonizados con las necesidades particulares de las ara{\~n}as en ambientes espec{\'{\i}ficos. Despu{\'e}s de una corta intro- ducci{\'o}n a la taxonom{\'{\i}a, distribuci{\'o}n y h{\'a}bitat, se entregan algunos ejemplos para mostrar como los sistema sensoriales de las ara{\~n}as se relacionan con el comportamiento de la ara{\~n}a en el h{\'a}bitat natural. Una clave para el g{\'e}nero Cupiennius es entregada por el trabajo siguiente (BARTH \& CORDES).},

	abstract = {The following key includes the description of the coloration patterns in the genus Cupiennius, typical of living representatives of the species. In the larger species, this permits determination of the species even for subadult specimens, although the coloration may be indistinct or even absent in preserved specimens. The shape of the epigynum, vulva and bulbal sclerites is then of major importance. Especially the smaller species of Cupiennius have an indistinct or variable coloration pattern on their body and legs. Their determination is only possible by dissection of the vulva (females) or by looking at small details of the male bulb. The present key is in essence a reprint of parts of an earlier publication (BARTH \& CORDES 1998). It includes all important features of the genitalia already described in LACHMUTH et al. (1984). Besides including C. remedius and C. celerrimus, it considers body size and characters of the coloration pattern and of the genitalia. The definition of the colours used in the key is taken from the colour table for coloured pencils of Faber-Castell, Germany. For C. chiapanensis (MEDINA SORIANO 2006) and C. vodou (BRESCOVIT \& POLOTOW 2005), two recently described new species, the reader is referred to the original literature.},
