Cyriopagopus sp. "Sarawak" in situ ...

Enjoy

Subfamily Ornithoctoninae G. sp. "Vietnam"

Little beauty. Has deceased now though. Am desperately looking for more specimens.

Best regards

Freshly molted juvenile L. violaceopes. A "bit" too much contrast in the photo unfortunately. Nice nice spiders.

Very nice - now that one I don't have

So, Leg IV not noticably swollen, no distinct elongated brushes of hair, and not distinctly longer than leg I would make this a Haplopelma sp."Vietnam"?

 

[phormingochilus]

And the last picture for now is a little rarity - a specimen from Kalimantan. A so far unidentified Lampropelma spp.

Premolt

A picture might help!

Depends on if you are refering to the H. albostriatum? ;p

H. sp. "longipedum":

Noticeably enlarged legs IV. Much longer and stouter than leg I.

Metatarsal scopula on leg IV covers half the segment and which is not divided.

Dorsally on metatarsus and tarsus of leg IV appears "fuzzy" due to a dense cover of long erect setae

H. sp. "Vietnam":

Leg lenghts of leg I and IV are more equal. Leg IV is not stouter than leg I.

Metatarsal scopula on leg IV covers 1/4 - 1/3 of the segment and is divided.

Dorsally on metatarsus and tarsus of leg IV there's no dense cover of long erect setae.

They can be very very similar at a glance but are not similar. Other morphological differences are present as well but the differences in the rear legs are the most prominent one.

Best regards

At a glance and without being 100% certain I would say Haplopelma sp. "Vietnam".

One of those mini cans ? ;P

[phormingochilus]

Here are some additional beauties. Had the luck to be able to borrow my work's digicam. Enjoy.

Haplopelma sp. "aureopilosum"

 

[phormingochilus]

The sister species of H. sp. "aureopilosum": H. sp. "Surat Thani" Notice darker coloration, stockier outline and white joint banding instead of tannish longitudal lateral surface on leg pair I & II ;-)

Slightly more pissed than the H. sp. "aureopilosum"

Enjoy ;-)
Søren

 

[phormingochilus]

And now to something slightly different, the rare cousin of Haplopelma schmidti: "Haplopelma costale". This one I am very proud of and happy to keep ;-) Just getting more and more beautiful by each molt.

Enjoy!

 

[phormingochilus]

Unfortunately a little wee blurred, but I am sure you get the overall picture of this beauty. Haplopelma sp. "Erewan"

Enjoy ;-)

Nice pics y'all! Especially love all this "techincal talk" about systematics and ID'ing. Great for a beginner like me!

Here my female H. "longepidum". She's only about 4.5" now. Guess it'll be a couple more moults til she matures?

Hi

Nice pictures, but they look more like sp."Vietnam" than sp."longipedum" to me - of course you cannot be certain just from looking at a picture

If she is about 4.5" I would say she is already mature enough to breed.
