Lasiodora cristata?

This spider was labeled both L cristata and Brazilian R&W. When I looked up the common name for L cristata it was White striped birdeater. When I looked up Brazilian R&W I got Vitalius cristatus. Is one just an older name?
What you have is Nhandu chromatus, which is sometimes incorrectly labeled as Lasiodora cristata.

Used to be L. Cristata. It is now listed as Nhandu Chromatus.
Lasiodora cristata is a valid species, just not this one.

This species never was L. cristata, it was just incorrectly labeled as such.
