That spider is not Pterinochilus lapalala, its Harpactira chrysogaster.

The photograph of the spider in the book you mentioned is an Augacephalus breyeri. Augacephalus breyeri does not have a sub-abdominal band. Augacephalus spp. are visually very striking animals, whereas Idiothele spp. are not nearly as colourful. The markings on the carapace of Idiothele...

If you keep them in moist substrate, and at that humidity for long, they will die. If you're going to keep the substrate moist, with warm temperatures, then give them more ventilation, and allow space to burrow. Good luck, you should have a nice vial with substrate soon.

From a photo it looks like Vitalius sorocabae.

I know the competition is closed but is #3 Selenocosmia and #4 Chilobrachys? #1 looks a lot like Lasiodorides polycuspulatus, but thats been said, so maybe striatus?

No, I can't. I would think you mean spermatheca, but obviously that can't be seen from a ventral picture, so what female organ are you refering to?

What organ is that?

So basically, saying that is a mature male, is also speculation?

I'd like to know what the very distinctive charateristics are, because I believe Phoneyusa don't possess tibial spurs :confused: True...BUT ...THAT is a very good specultion :clap:

Ah. I would guess that the common name refers to mature males, which do have very blue legs.

Sorry, its not Megaphobema. Why do you think its not Pamphobeteus antinous?

Megaphobema peterklaasi

I know photo ID'ing is frowned upon, but your spider looks like my Vitalius sorocabae. My one also gets a very rounded abdomen like yours. Just a guess though.

Well the genus is pretty evident with this picture, but the species might take some guesswork. I put a reply on the SA site, where you posted the pictures originally.

No "mirror patch"

:( what is this T's species? Looks like a Lasiodora parahybana.

A tarantula "breeder"'s goal is to get babies from his/her spiders.... I've no idea what a tarantula "mater" does? Passes her on to a "breeder" perhaps?? Actually, I've never heard of a tarantula "mater". The words have different meanings and should be used accordingly. If you've mated a...

Nice photos! Got any Pokies?

Here's a good link which actually makes reference to "Affect" and "Effect" too: http://grammartips.homestead.com/than.html :)

Okay. Read my last post, and rub it in... :D
