Don't think it looks like a suntiger, P. imrinia have more of the orange "chevrons" on the abdomen. This only looks like it has two larger ones.
Also this looks more like a NW terrestrial species imo.
Honestly I have no idea. But s/he's pretty cool looking.
There's another photo that kind of resembles this one and is said to be a G. pulchra...This is a hard one no doubt. Would love to hear more from someone in the know.
I don't know but this is really strange. Austin inferred there was some idea for what it is but never said what. It almost looks like a pulchra x irminia cross but that's not remotely possible. New species perhaps?
I was thinking the same with Pulchra x Irminia or Pulchra x Cambridgei. I'm not saying its impossible but highly improbable. I do know that its a female and its terrestrial. It doesn't burrow. Perhaps a dwarf species of some sort? Austin mentioned to me that a buddy of his (which I would 100% take advice from) says it is a Pulchra but its pattern has stuck with it longer. Eventually, it will molt out of this pattern/coloration and turn jet black as all Pulchra do. Now if this lady stays this color for the next 2-3 molts and so on, I really suspect a hybrid (I hope not) or some species that hasn't been "named/identified" yet (I hope so). In the meantime, I'm gonna keep my eye on this little lady. I'm going to power feed her. Hopefully I get a molt soon. Then I will post pics of her post molt.
I'd try to find out more about where that T came from. Breeder? Import? And it does look very much like irminia in that, if I see that correctly, that specimen even has the somewhat metallic greenish carapace...did someone try to breed a terrestrial NW without urticating hairs? Very weird....
That T looks Terrestrial not Arboreal. only feature would assume irminia would be the abdomen markings. looks like a hybrid of course but deffinaly far from a Psalmopoeus sp.
