Looks like H minax to me, if you aren't sure wait till it nears a moult, H minax keeps it's velvety black colour and doesn't turn dull brown like other black species. Also they are very secretive, fast and meaner than the devil

A lot of the literature is going to still be labeled under Haplopelma but isn't the revision that all Haplopelma are now Cyriopagopus standing?

God I hate these common names, wasn't expecting to see a haplo from the title. Was expecting either b.Schroederi or a.caniceps. looks like h.minax to me also. Nice specimen by the way.
