This is exactly what I found from pet store information and caresheets - You're doing the right thing by asking the people here.

Sorry I can't give you any specific information, I'm only an amateur myself -.-

According to that site, it's called Lampropelma violaceopes.

What the hell??? What's the real name of this???????????

 

[phormingochilus]

The real name is Lampropelma violaceopes, as this is the species name given to this species in 1924 by Abraham ;-)

Whose Abraham? I keep hearing this, someone elaborate.

Also, isn't one a Singapore Blue and the other is a Singapore violet?

Correct, the Lampropelma is the Singapore Violet.

 

[hairmetalspider]

Correct, the Lampropelma is the Singapore Violet.

Ah. The above statement sounded like it was referring to a blue.

Yup, I think either the OP got the two confused, or maybe the website he was looking at did.

Now who the heck is Abraham?

No freaking idea.

the site was made by the poster. Lampropelma violaceopes is what we have in the hobby as Cyriopagopus sp"blue".

as for Abraham, he is the person who described the species in 1924.

I've seen them advertised as two separate species, and the pics don't look alike either. Check out www.botarby8s.com or www.swiftinverts.com.

As far as Abraham, obviously he's the person who described the species. The question was who was he, as in some background information?

 

[metallica]

botar and Kelly Swift are still using the hobby names. Volker von Wirth has seen the type of the Lampropelma violaceopes. he is certain that it is what we have in the hobby as Cyriopagopus sp"blue".

what is being sold as Lampropelma violaceopes (according to the description an arboreal spider) is in fact an undescribed burrowing spider.

O.K. fair enough.
