Ivory Ornamental Tarantula (Poecilotheria subfusca) is a spider in the tarantula family Theraphosidae, endemic to Sri Lanka. As of February 2019 the World Spider Catalog regarded Poecilotheria bara as a synonym of this species, though other sources, particularly in the pet trade, have historically treated its highland and lowland forms as distinct, with the lowland form often called P. bara.
