The following is a current listing of the theraphosid taxa in which ultimate males do not possess tibial apophyses or of taxa that have one or more anomalous species within a taxon lacking tibial apophyses. Anomalous male variants can be found within any theraphosid taxa and the below list indicates taxa in which ultimate males consistently lack tibial apophyses.
