Back end of Xenethis...
How to tell Xenethis from Pamphobeteus?
Check the scopulae on the rear legs of Xenethis and compare. Xenethis has scopulae that wrap around the very long metatarsus.

Bad hair day.....
those T's always remind me of someone who just got out of bed 'cause of their messy lookin' abdomens.

Re: Back end of Xenethis...
These are without doubt the holy grail of the tarantula world. Have you seen Xenesthis species 'blau'? Martin Huber also has a very strange Xenesthis species 'blonde', he may have photos on his site, I'm not sure. And one of these days, some X.monstrosa may make it to the hobby (other then Todd's).
Just to add to what you've already said John, the scopula on the metatarsi of Pamphos (2nd fav. genus)is only apical or even absent.

Ahhhh, my favourite genus

How I envy you! I've been wanting one of these for years. Do you find this species very reclusive, or are you able to admire that gorgeous carapace on a regular basis?

Hi Joy, this particular specimen does have the chance to hide out under a provided corkbark hollow, but shows no interest in doing so. Usually, she's out and about. All the other Xenethis I've had in the past were also on "display".

I have had the same experience with mine. I have an immature male and female and neither of them ever utilize the shelters I have provided them with. They do seem rather nervous, but they are always visible.

Steve,
I'd glady trade a whole mess of these ugly things for a couple of stumpies
I'll even throw in every available species of Pamphos for one Varanus keithhorni
And you say we're lucky?
