Acanthogonatus hualpen is a mygalomorph spider of Chile named after its type locality: Hualpén Concepción Bío Bío Region. Males can be distinguished from those of A. nahuelbuta and A. patagallina by the shaped of the bulb’s apex and by the palpal tibia being wide in the basal two-thirds (tapering abruptly at the apex) with thickened setae along the apical one-third of the retrolateral face (instead of two-thirds).
