I’m not familiar with any current efforts but I’d love to see something as basic as addressing animals that have been around for 15+ years. Species White is novel imo; I wouldn’t be surprised to see blue synonymized with immanis, or to see a bunch of subspecies applied to that species. As I said above, long and short hair are apparently the only taxonomically distinct ones, but there are so many regional variations I’d love to see addressed.Interesting read putting aside all the childish insults. Beautiful tarantulas although I am a bit biased loving anything Xenesthis. It will be interesting to see what shakes out when they finally get around to a Xenesthis revision , which are regional variants and which are actual separate species.
Realistically though, I’d love to see them address Pamphobeteus first. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that genus broken up a la Avicularia, and I’m curious about how the spectacular differences amongst Columbian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Bolivian animals shake out in observable science .
